Today I’m writing three haiku using Ronovan’s prompt words for this week : charm and look.
My first two haiku are the usual 5,7, 5 format but the last one is 3,5,3 thought I’d try that for a change.
My haiku is based upon a character in my manuscript, who I intend to develop so I thought I’d write this haiku with her in mind…
Sad Mirror Girl
The Sad Mirror Girl
Look but you can never touch
Her sweet charms are locked
Look! Lost child’s report
Weird reflections greet her now
No charm can save her
Look! How her Tears fall
Captured in charming glass walls
Lonely Mirror girl
Look! Spell cast
A Puzzle perhaps
No escape?

Poor soul, can you imagine? I think I will really have to get my sad hat on to write more about this particular character.
I’ve got to get ready for work now, must dash, hope that The Mirror Girl piqued your interest.
Bye for now, got to fuel up with a good breakfast…. Not sure if I’ve got time for eggs and bacon but you can always imagine can’t you…

Great haiku! 😊
Thank you Ritu. 🙂
Oh, I’m feeling rather sad and worried about The Mirror Girl. I enjoyed these haikus and it’s definitely whetted my interest to read more. 😀Have a good day at work and hope it isn’t too manic!
Thank you Annika. It was terribly manic today I have to say – I just about survived!
Sorry to hear that but not surprised. Weekend before Chrsitams is usually looney time. Hopefully you have some new material for stories or character studies, Some wine to recover perhaps?
Yes, I do have some more stories so it is all good… Popped round a friends after work and indulged in a bit of mulled wine!
The Mirror girl is intriguing.
Thank you, I’m looking forward to developing her character. 🙂
Love this!!!
Thank you Lynz. 🙂
most welcome. hope you are well!
I am and you Lynz? Hope you are well too.
We are very well thanks!
That’s fabulous Marjorie, even if it is sad, yet intriguing. I’m sharing to my Haiku Pinterest board. 🙂
Thank you Debby appreciate the share. 🙂

“Captured in charming glass walls” – I love that line and all it implies. Well done.
Thank you glad you enjoyed my haiku. 🙂
