Having entered for the first time last week and been blown away by the friendly community around this (and Ronovan’s detailed, and generous, review of all entrants), I’m back for more… Here are two haiku for Ronovan’s weekly haiku challenge – https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/05/25/ronovanwrites-weekly-haiku-poetry-prompt-challenge-46-think-fresh/
This week’s word prompts are “think” and “fresh”
Out of his depth
Fresh-faced college boy
Thinking he’s out of his depth
Takes swimming lessons
Fresh-faced college boy, thinking he’s out of his depth
Thinking he’s out of his depth, takes swimming lessons
Two become one become…
I end. You begin.
I think it and you say it.
Fresh perspective sought.
I end. You begin. I think it and you say it!
I think it and you say it. Fresh perspective sought.
Particularly like the 2nd one, there is a whole story behind it and I’m enjoying imagining it!

Two great Haiku. I think the first one is more personal whereas the second can speak to many. Great job!

Thank you 🙂 . I only really intended the first as a pun on the phrase “out of his depth”… the second is more universal.

Both good. The first one humorous, the second one more thoughtful. Yin and Yang!
