HaikuHorizon’s Prompt this week is “Ground” . If you would like to join the challenge or read other Haiku, click HERE.
Here are my takes on the prompt:
You must stand your ground
to be seen as serious…
it’s wise not to blink.Far from being firm,
when terra firma trembles
she scales richter’s heights.Her grounds for leaving
bordered on insanity…
she hated green paint.Kat ~ 30 November 2015
Wow! This challenge was a CHALLENGE. I never would have imagined such simple words could cause me such angst. I noticed others stepped up to the task with ease and grace. Those Haiku that I have read so far are wonderful! You all made it look so easy! Bravo!
As for me this particular word pair came kicking and screaming from my brain to the page. Maybe it was the rain? Not enough coffee? No excuses! I have always said that I like a challenge. Thanks once again Ronovan for supplying me with just that. If you’d like to give it a go, click HERE.
The prompts for this Haiku Challenge from RonovanWrites are: Black & White. I came up with three. Why, you ask? Because I suppose I am a (m)utton for punishment! Haha! Get it? mutton…glutton…I digress. I suppose it has more to do with the fact that I have gotten in the habit of consulting my thesaurus and dictionary for these challenges, so naturally, to give these words full voice required more than one. 🙂
Happy Monday to you!
Her beauty was rare
skin pearlescent, glowing
crowned by raven locks.Black sheep have their perks
unlike their hoary siblings,
no expectations!This black-white haiku…
it turned out to be all but
simply black and white.kat ~ 30 November 2015
She arranged the tiles
Spelling a triple point word
Scrabble was her game!

Some may see my tardy entry for this week’s word of the day haiku as a symptom. But I assure you that I managed to be out and about on Black Friday midday, not at the crack of dawn, and if you must know, my mission was to obtain necessities for my dear pets…dog food, cat food and the like. I do admit that I couldn’t resist picking up several toys…they were on SALE and Christmas is coming after all. But that doesn’t make me an oniomaniac does it? I only shopped at one store…really…well, maybe two…or was it three!!!? At any rate, here’s my haiku! Happy Weekend to you!
Oniomaniacs’ Holiday
Nocturnal creatures
Some oniomaniacs
Worship Black Friday!kat – 28 November 2015

A trio of Haiku this week in response to Ronovanwrites prompts for this week: Life & Give. if you’d like to participate or read more click HERE.
To give her the moon
He spent a lifetime toiling
She wanted the sun.
Complicated life
Fueling flames of contention
It all ends in dust.
Humans are endowed
With life, liberty and joy!
We grumble for more.
