For Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge, you can write your poem in the forms defined on the Poetry Challenge Cheatsheet:

Poetry Form Cheats sheet. This tutorial will help poets learn the different forms to use for Colleen’s Weekly Syllabic Poetry Challenge. Image by Thought Catalog from Pixabay HAIKU IN ENGLISH: 5/7/5, 3/5/3, or 2/3/2 s…

I wrote my Haiku in the 5/7/5 form that I always use. Colleen suggested I the other forms of 3/5/3 and 2/3/2. Colleen even showed me an example of each. Well I try never to shrink from challenge so I am going to have a go .

Here is my original. The prompts were Calm and Present.

All still and pleasant

My mind is empty, peaceful

Time stops in the now.

All is quiet

Live in the moment

Stilled softly

Silent

Mindfulness

Time out

Thank you Colleen for encouraging me to try.

Smoke on the water

Mirrors and lights, reflection

It’s all illusion.

This is my entry for Ronovanwrites Weekly Haiku Challenge.

The fever is fierce.

This is part of Ronovanwrites Weekly Haiku Challenge.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and the prompt words will in some way be reflective of that. The National Alliance on Mental Illness or NAMI is a big part of this.

In Serene knowledge

That Misery is not pure

Fight, reach for the light.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and the prompt words will be reflecting that in some way. The National Alliance on Mental Illness or NAMI is a big part of this.

Our dear Ronovan said :”Those of you who have been with me since the beginning of my blogging time for the past 6 years know that I’ve had my own problems, which was one reason I started blogging in the first place. Through the friendships I developed and the outlet blogging gave me I’ve improved a great deal. I have neglected those friendships, and however much I want to improve in that area I’ve been in a not very energy filled place in parts of my life and those parts have suffered.”

Ronovan’s words resonate with me too because I have suffered on and off with depression. I know the Black Dog well.
