Daily Haiku Challenge – Booknvolume Blog

Aug22

Morgan, at the Booknvolume blog, is running a Daily Haiku Challenge, and I kind of love haiku, and I always love a good challenge as well. Believe it or not, Haiku can prove quite challenging.

The goal of haiku is to fit something filled with meaning into three short lines consisting of 17 syllables in total, it needs to invoke feeling, and make sense. This is how I’ve always thought of haiku.

Traditional Japanese haiku is, for lack of a better way to say it, simple complexity. I’ll likely never master it, but I do enjoy trying.

A recent walk around the neighborhood served up inspiration, and fortunately, I was able to capture it . . .

despite effort made by man

Dare I not, to dream
lest I see your face once more
as it turns away

I dreamt of flowers
of placing them on your grave
knowing they would wilt

Fluffy little bear

lies beside her as she dreams

of dancing rainbows

Rainbow colored tulle

my little ballerina

dances in the clouds

Precious little girl

fluffy tuffs of rainbow tulle

dancing in the clouds

~

Fluffy floating clouds

rainbows splashed across the sky

promise from on high

~  R a g e  &   F l a m m a b l e  ~

Two more . . . they keep floating around my head.

Rage consumes like fire
flammable, burning red hot
till nothing remains

Anger, jealousy –
ignite flammable weakness,
fuel the fires of rage

Haiku Challenge – ronovanwrites ~ Rage & Flammable

http://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com Weekly Haiku Challenge – Rage & Flammable

I couldn’t quite decide how I wanted to use the words so I used them in several little Haikus, I will likely come back to them, pick them apart and see what comes of them.

Flammable follies
love, desire, passion, rage
smolder, smoke, ignite

~

Growing flames of rage
sear the heart of the angered
flammable soul burns

~

Rage, burning hot fire
the paper soul, flammable
nothing remains, ash

~

Flammable rage burns
destruction left in its wake
scattered ashes fall

~

Embers of rage flame
flammable forgiveness burns
only ash remains

~

Rage, flammable, hot
burning beast, consuming fire
leaving only ash
