Her laughter, little skips, and spins
around the dancing tinkling water fountain,
a simple statement of Life’s joy.

Bearing gifts of gold, myrrh, and frankincense
they sing songs of Joy
and bow to the Him, The Cornerstone

Brutal – Ronovan writes weekly haiku challenge
Life in the jungle is brutal
The Cheetah pursued with power and grace
The gazelle raced for her life
The race is not to the fleet,
neither power, a free gift
but wisdom from above trumps them all.

Witching Hour – Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge
Join us at Ronovan’s weekly haiku challenge. For this week’s prompt, he gave us Creep & Race and I couldn’t resist taking a bite 😉
The big old grandfathers’ clock struck midnight
The witching hour crept by
hearts raced under the blanket in terror.
℘
A distant howl tore into the silent night
the creepy crawlies salivated greedily
racing to plant their fangs’ in frenzy.

Love – Ronovan writes weekly haiku challenge
When I saw Ronovans’ prompt for this week’s haiku, ‘heart and petals,’ my romantic thoughts drifted to love. I am a die-hard romantic realist – whatever that means. Ha, ha 😉
Heart-shaped petals
on pristine sheets
honeymoon is underway.
You laid petals for me,
my heart you captured
with actions of pure love.
Wild Hunter – Ronovan writes weekly haiku challenge
An exciting pair of words ‘Hunter & Moon,’ from Ronovan for our weekly haiku. Do you take part in any haiku challenge? Give it a thought.
The wild hunter’s blood thrummed;
he sensed her presence from miles away,
it’s a full moon tonight.
Rush – Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge
Mama says you must rush
don’t lark about,
for the Tiger crouches silently.

All Fall Down…Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge
Ronovan gives us a pair of haiku prompts ‘ Home & Leaves,’ that fall into the seasons’ theme. Here’s my take on it.
Nothing satisfies me like a beautiful evening,
seated at home sipping tea;
watching the leaves wave in the wind.
Now the leaves all come falling down,
tapestry in rustic brown mounds;
nature decorating the yards of many homes.
Homeowners may sometimes feel tired and grumpy,
having to gather endless heaps
of leaves, that continue to fall down.

Enchanted…Ronovan writes weekly haiku challenge.
We receive a lovely pair of words “Magic & Stars” for this weeks’ Haiku. Here’s my take on it.
She listened in delight and rapt attention
eyes shone like little stars
as daddy told magical tales of far-away.
She snuck under the duvet with a torch
the starry night added its magic
as she stole a read during bedtime.
