RonovanWrites #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #273 Forest&Whisper

This my entry for Ronovanwrites Weekly Haiku Challenge. This week’s prompts are Forrest and Whisper.

Forrest Tanka.

How green and quiet

Forrest, beloved of Gia

I hear your whisper.

Sleeping Dragon , Shadorma.

Sleep softly

As thousands of feet

Walk past you

Men are blind

To all your timeless wisdom

Older than all time

Hidden Dragon Tanka

Tired out an old soul

No longer scary or mean

Eons of magic

So much knowledge to impart

Scary of face, kind heart.

Song Lyric Sunday. Trains.

This week Jim Adams at Newepiauthor has set us the prompt of Trains for our Song Lyric Sunday.

So I have chose Mathew and Son by the then Cat Stevens. It a brilliant song about life and it’s treadmill. It mentions the 8.30 train so I think it fits the bill.

Cat Stevens now known as Yusuf Islam.

And if the link is a little tenuous here is the last train to Clarksville by the Monkeys. Oh! I loved the Monkeys.

The Monkeys.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Sept. 28/19

Our Linda is attending a Writers’ Festival in Kingston (Ontario), but the prompt must go on. So Dan from No Facilities, is filling in for Linda. Here’s your SoCS prompt:

“Our Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “ent” “ten” “net.” Use one, use two or use all three (bonus points for using two, double-bonus points for using all three). As Linda would say, use ’em any way you’d like. Enjoy!”
So Dan my apologies for running late but here we go 💜.

Intent on tenderising

The meat she bashed the life out of it.

What a waste of good steak.

It’s an easy mistake to make.

Indents you don’t need to make

Just heat the oil in the pan

Then for four minutes each side.

Fry at high heat

Perfect to eat.

Steak four minutes each side

Then then ten minutes rested.

Perfect taste invested.

If you don’t believe me check the internet.

Skin Deep.

I needed to write, so here is an Etheree and a Tanka about enduring devotion.

See you

My baby

Such joy you bring

Me. I do not see

What other people do.

Beauty is only skin deep

Your devotion makes my heart leap.

You may not have too pretty a face.

Who needs beauty when you can have pure grace.

*****

And you my sweet dog

Always my best support.

Happy together

We have been made immortal

Still one, a beautiful thought.

A little tribute to Emily Carr her monkey Woo and her faithful dog Billy.

A Sorry Etheree.
