A few Haiku in response to TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge. This week’s prompt: Light/The Qualities of Light. If you would like to read more, click HERE.
I watched helplessly
as light faded from her eyes
she left me helpless.
I knew you were there
your shadow danced with the light
through the window shade.
The blind perceive things
those with sight may overlook
who then, sees the light?

A trio of Haiku for Ronovan Writes weekly Haiku Challenge. This week the prompt words are: Shower & Play. To read more click HERE.
Shower’s are cheeky
when the couple has played house
before the wedding.
After a deluge
the river banks swell and churn
and thrill-seekers play!
Those who play hardest
will lose friends if they forget
to shower harder!

Welcome to the roundup for this week’s Haiku of the Day Challenge. PJ (Priceless Joy) joined the challenge once again, selecting Monday’s word as her prompt. She will tell you that she is not a good haiku writer, but I think she does a splendid job! See her Haiku below.
I added my usual Friday word. Dictionary.com had some great words this week. Have a great week!
—————————-
Monday’s Word of the Day from Dictionary.com: Apostasy – noun: a total desertion or departure from ones religion, principles, party, cause, etc.
His apostasy
had him running from the men
who wanted him dead.
– PJ (Priceless Joy) @ Beautiful Words
—————————-
Friday’s Word of the Day from Dictionary.com: Amaranthine – adjective: unfading; everlasting; of or like the amaranth; of purplish-red color.
Defying the years
An amaranthine grace glowed
From her twinkling eyes.

If you would like to join us this week, here are the rules!
Word of the Day Haiku Challenge
1. Pick a day that works for you. Once you pick your day, stick to it. This is what makes it fun and quite a challenge.
2. Choose an online dictionary that features a word of the day. I use dictionary.com but there are others. Pick your go-to dictionary.
3. Create a Haiku using the word of the day. In this challenge, no synonyms allowed.
4. A Haiku is a three line poem with the syllable structures 3-5-3 or 5-7-5.
5. (Optional) If you want, you may also post a expanded history of the word, your thoughts about the word, or some unusual facts about the word of the day.
6. Post a link to your Haiku in the comments so I can find you.
7. I’ll post the weekly roll call list on Sunday. So you have until Saturday at midnight (EST) to post your haiku.
8. Have fun!
Beautiful treasures
Collect dust in our cupboards
As if things matter.

A Haiku for TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge based on the prompt word: Cupboard. Read other haiku or ener your own HERE.
A few Haiku for RonovanWrites Haiku Challenge based on the prompt word “Lift” & “Plan”. For more information click HERE.
In her vanity
She planned a simple face lift
Not a “joker” smile.
Always have a plan
Even if it’s called Plan B
Some goals need backup.
