A bit of fun with TJ’s new prompt format. This week for his Household Haiku challenge… a word and a photo with the suggestion to choose one or both. The Word Prompt: Dew and the photo pictured here…and here is my little Haiku tale…
“Welcome to my pad,”
said Sweat Bee to Miss Dew Drop,
“Dawn looks swell on you!”

Once again the
mothers weep and
hide their children
safe to keep, as
talking heads, their
blood lust slaking,
vomit spin to
boost their ratings.
Lines are drawn and
trenches dredged as
pols fight for the
winning edge, and
fear and loathing set
the stage for
wayward zealots
venting rage.
We pride
ourselves as
civilized and
judge the
stranger with
our eyes, but
souls reside where
we can’t see, the
other’s not our
enemy. Remember
when you seek to
blame, under the
skin we are
the same.

Do you remember when you lost your way?
For some it was disguised as childplay
In cool divisive shades of pink and blue,
the lines were drawn according to the rules
And differences were judged in stark display.
Some fragile hearts were broken in the fray
of bitter battles between us and they
And lines were blurred obscuring every truth.
Do you remember?
How magnificent you are in every way.
Your life’s a precious gift infused with grace.
Don’t let world fraught with fear subdue
the beauty of your soul that makes you, You…
Do you remember?

(a Rondeau)
A Rondeau is a French form, 15 lines long, consisting of three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short – a refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the same metrical count)
