True eternity
is not a destination
a continuum?
kat ~ 4 January 2016
I like to double-check my format when doing a RonovanWrites Haiku. Once I figured out the rules, it is hard for me to write a Haiku any other way. At any rate here are the checks…
-3 lines – 5/7/5 (Check)
-Sentence – Lines 1-2: True eternity is not a destination. (Check)
-Sentence – Lines 2-3: Is not a destination a continuum? and (CHECK!)…I really like the way that second sentence flipped into a question! Sometimes I even surprise myself! 🙂
This week’s Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge employs the words “Vast” and “Clear” (or in the case of this offering, thesaurus researched representations of the words in question: Vast – Eternity / Clear – True).

Wow well done Kat. I never would have thought to have lines 2 and 3 makes sense on their own!

That’s been a standing format in the rule list for Ronovan’s challenge. The first few Haiku I did for him I didn’t manage to pull it off. But I have worked to make it work ever since. It adds an extra challenge to the challenge! 🙂

Yes, it does! I went through a Haiku-writing phase about 5 years ago, but only ever followed the 5-7-5 format. I should see if I can dig some of those up one of these days. They were all about owls, another passion of mine. 🙂

That is if I can find them! A group I belong to made a PDF of all the ones we had written, but not sure where I filed it!

Interesting twist, Kat. Ron’s prompt words are in the title and not the haiku, but reflecting on the meaning of the haiku. Loved your image.

Ron allows us to use synonyms in his Haiku challenge…and encourages as such. I have done this with several of the haiku’s I have submitted for his challenge. It allows for more creativity that way. 🙂
