This is the latest weekly challenge from Ronovan, with the prompts “guide” and “mad”. I had a lot of fun with these words. Hope you do too!
#1
The madness of crowds
Guides the fool to dusty death,
Forsaking wisdom
#2
Bureaucrat’s madness:
Thousand page guidance info.
Welcome to my work
#3
Set aside youth’s doubt;
The madness of difference.
Let love be your guide
#4
A moment’s stillness:
Guide the soul to harmony.
Set madness aside
#5
Here’s Tour Guide Barbie,
Mad hair, camo gear and gun…
Brother’s makeover
I really like your haikus . Each one feels so unique in concepts and words.

I think the teeny boxes were what made me start writing in haiku… No other words will fit!

I laughed out loud. It reminded me of the “makeover” I gave my sisters dolls

I have three brothers, so I can only imagine 🙂 . Tour Guide Barbie is a reflection on having watched Toy Story with my boys about a hundred times… And counting
