Ronovan gives us some stupendous words again this week: "charm and look." I love all the meanings of these words and how versatile they are. In addition, we are asked to use opposites. Ronovan says: "If your first sentence is about how lovely something is, the second sentences should be how horrible it is."

I officially started my blog on 16th November 2014, but the original objective was to raise visibility of my debut novel, Eleven Miles, which was published on the 16th of December.

Thanks for stopping … Continue reading RonovanWrites #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #73 Black & White

I saw on the weather broadcast for Thanksgiving Day that northern California was finally receiving some relief from the drought. Heavy snowfall was falling in an attempt to remedy some of the worst drought conditions ever recorded in our history. Ronovan's words for the week are "life and give," quite fitting for Thanksgiving week. As … Continue reading RonovanWrites #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #72 Life & Give
The woman – All ebony hair, long and hanging down Stands – At the edge of an emotional abyss Waiting – For the terror to subside And for her heart to stop breaking. The man – All muscled and fair, surrounded by a dark aura of intensity Stands – Bracing for the worst Waiting – … Continue reading Waiting For Love
