INSPIRE & LOSS
The latest weekly haiku challenge from Ronovan, with the prompts of “inspire” and “loss”. After getting a bit of a shellacking for my awful punning last week, this week’s effort is a pun-free zone…
RISK
You inspired me
To risk everything that day
What a bloody fool
BETTER?
Inspiration here:
It’s better to love and lose
Said no one who lost.

This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

Enjoyed both haikus. The last line in each one is revealing your sense of humour.

Thanks Olga. I guess that’s my “voice” coming through. I am definitely developing a haiku “style”, so am glad that you like it! Lots more in this style coming this week 🙂

Thanks, Lori. I’d like to practise a more classical form of haiku, but I keep getting drawn to this style. I guess this is just me! 🙂
