RonovanWrites #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #62 Start&Hot
Isn’t this pretty? Really like this prompt photo Ron, very nice indeed. Love the orange leaves against the grey – very striking.
This week’s prompt words for Ron’s Weekly Haiku Challenge are Start and Hot, and boy did these two words give me trouble, I just wasn’t feeling it. My haiku engine wasn’t starting, it was at a dead stand still believe me. In fact it protested like an old uncharged car battery on a freezing cold snowy day. I was stumped and practically gave up. You nearly had me throwing in the towel Ron, but I kept on at it, played with words, and fiddled about until I came up with these two haikus: Hot Rave Drug Murder and Tsunami of Tears. Not particularly cheerful haiku this week, I’m sorry to say, but at least I get full marks for being determined!!
Hot Rave Drug Murder
A cliff hanger start
The final chapter shocker
Hot Rave Drug Murder
It reads as:
A cliffhanger start the final chapter shocker.
The final chapter shocker hot rave drug murder
Then after muddling through that first haiku I came up with this:
Tsunami of Tears
Start running, death calls
Hot, still sand surrenders souls
Tsunami of tears
It reads as:
Start running death calls hot still sand surrenders souls.
Hot still sand surrenders souls tsunami of tears.

Hope you like this weeks haiku. I kind of looked a bit shocked like my Bitstrips cartoon character when I finally worked it out!
Do leave a comment I’d love to hear from you.
Bye for now.

Pretty Japanese maples! I’ve got two in my garden 🙂 Pretty haiku as well – lovely way to kick off the weekend. Happy weekend, Marjorie 🙂
Thank you Ramona. The Japanese maples are gorgeous. So glad you enjoyed my haiku. Have a great weekend Ramona. 🙂
Very original haiku—well worth the effort I would say😊
Thank you Janice. 🙂
Oh, those weeks the words just don’t want to work! But then again that keeps is challenging and fun, doesn’t it? I really like the second one, even if they are a bit dark 😉
Yes it is good to be challenged. Glad you really liked my second haiku. Thank you for commenting, Greg.
I especially like the 2nd, Marje!
Thank you. 🙂
Hi Marje! Both haiku are good. I’m glad you didn’t throw in the towel. Sometimes when you struggle your best work emerges. 😉
Thank you Vashti. That’s really kind of you. It’s certainly good to challenge oneself I reckon.:)
Yes it is. You’re proof of that. 😉 Enjoy the weekend!
Thank you Vashti. :))) enjoy your weekend too. 😉
