Haiku Challenge No. 39 Vie and Reach

https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/04/06/ronovanwrites-weekly-haiku-poetry-prompt-challenge-39-vie-reach/

Just recently I watched a wonderful documentary called First Position about six young dancers from around the world, as they prepare for the Youth America Grand Prix, one of the most prestigious ballet competitions in the world. The Haiku challenge vie and reach, seemed to be a perfect match for the hardworking, dedicated ballerinas who strive so hard for much coveted perfection.

Ballerinas reach

Giddy balletic new heights

Vie for perfection

Ballerinas reach giddy balletic new heights

Giddy Balletic new heights vie for perfection

The second haiku incorporating nature came to me quicker than the first:

Reach high for the stars

Whatever you do try hard

Vie for the moon too

Reach high for the stars whatever you do try hard

Whatever you do try hard vie for the moon too

Ronovan Writes: Weekly Haiku Challenge – No. 38 ILL AND REST

RonovanWrites Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt Challenge #38 ill&rest

Well I enjoyed doing Challenge #37, so I thought I’d do another Haiku Prompt Challenge.

It’s fun so here goes.

The theme this week is ill and rest.

I wrote two Hiakus this week, they are both about loss and death, sorry for being so morbid but the prompt of ill and rest seemed to lead me down that path!

My first Haiku A Bitter Ill is about illness resulting in loss of life, whereas my second Haiku,

The Tornado’s Fist is about loss of life, caused by the devastating effect of natural disasters.

A Bitter Ill

A bitter ill may kill

Rest survive when others die

Too cruel this sad world.

A bitter ill may kill, rest survive when others die.

Rest survive when others die, too cruel this sad world.

The Tornado’s Fist

The Tornado’s Fist

Strangers far away do grieve

Lives lost with one blow

The tornado’s fist, strangers far away do grieve.

Strangers far away do grieve, lives lost with one blow.

Haikus are my very own! Hope you enjoyed.

Sunday inspired the words this week, again. I was attempting to write my Sunday Thought late Saturday evening into early Sunday morning and nothing was coming. Rather than force it, I shut everything down and waited. When I woke up the next morning, well actually the same morning, the thought was there. Patience. I had waited rather than force it.

One quick thing. I have noticed in my social network travels that we aren’t following each other on Twitter. I follow everyone I have a Twitter Handle for. Every one, follow our Haiku friends. You have a Twitter but I don’t have it? Just type it in the comments when you paste your link. One way I find Twitter Handles is when I click on your Haiku, I click the Twitter share button and get the handle from there. Your handle doesn’t show there? Click here
