haunting the hopeful
a ghost of a chance dangles
to keep dreams alive
I believe in ghosts
not that I’ve seen one up close
but i have felt them
my old house whispers
each creak, each groan tells the tale
of a voice silenced

A few Haiku for TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge Haiku Hub. This week’s prompt is “Ghost”.
Buds that stay shuttered
will miss the exquisite pain
of love’s undoing…

This haiku is for TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge. This week’s prompt is “Bud”.
Having a bit of fun as usual with TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge. He gave us a Theme: Retro and a Prompt: Reflect. I wondered to myself if there was such a thing as a “Retroreflection” and to my surprise, there was! It all has to do with lights and lasers and prisms and reflections. Basically it is when light bounces off the side angle of the inside corner of a prism to the other side and back forming a reflective ray that is parallel with the source ray. I also learned that it is the science the behind the reflective paint used for street markings and traffic signs! Who knew?
At any rate, here’s a little diagram for you and my Haiku. Have a lovely Tuesday! 🙂

Retroreflection – A Haiku

gold ore needs alloys
to become strong, resilient
gold hearts need allies.

For TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge’s Haiku Hub. This week’s prompt is “Gold”.
A trio of haiku for TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge, prompt word: Cut.
When cutting something
curl your tongue and twist your face
it helps your fingers!
Ruthlessly savage
harsh words from a friend’s sharp tongue
cut deep to the heart.
Cutting one’s losses,
this end can be avoided
just cut to the chase.
