It is Haiku Friday and I am excited to share Ronovan’s words this week: tide and flesh. I used family in place of flesh because I like the connotation that it gave to my haiku.
I am calling this, “Family Relations.”
Thank for popping in. I am glad to see you all!
Thanks, Smitha. Glad you’re here! ❤️
Thanks, Margaret. 😍
A pain is exactly right.
Oh dear. A suitably uncomfortable offering. 99 words that pack a punch.
Right. I'm on the case. Thanks.

Crafting Syllabic Poetry is my Ikigari 💜
One day, I stumbled across the Japanese word Ikigari. After some research, I discovered iki means life. In Japanese, Gai means worth or value. When these words combine, they form the definition of ikigari, which is life’s worth. It’s often translated or interpreted as a reason for getting up in the morning. So, yes, writing syllabic poetry is my ikigari.
I also believe writing syllabic poetry strengthens our writing skills. When we create poetry, we gain command of language; cultivate a healthy vocabulary, master literary devices such as metaphor, simile, alliteration, hyperbole, and allegory. We learn to work in imagery. We connect with our ikigari.
When I’m not writing poetry or crafting short stories, you’ll find me digging in my garden, or playing with my two unicorn cats, Chloe & Sophie. I live in East Lansing, Michigan with my husband—my soul mate. Most days you can find me writing poetry on wordcraftpoetry.com. 💜
Trump apparently leaked the warrant to Breitbart. The DOJ had sought to redact or shield the names of agents involved. Trump took no caution. The Breitbart article has names of agents, which obviously puts a target on their back. Reprehensible. Trump needs to be stopped. Enough.
@w_gourdine When I was a child, I had an imaginary friend called Luke. He taught me magic and kept me safe from the dark things.
When I was 16, my mother sent me to a hospital to convince me that Luke was not real.
Ten years later ‘Luke’ came back for me.

Summer cried once
it realized its
energy
was
depleting,
empty beaches,
sand castles whisked
away in the
wind,
children
no longer
running amuck,
amusement park signs
'closed til next season,'
#eventides
calling
it a night
in preparation for Fall's arrival

Love you Haiku. You picked the perfect picture for it, or was it the other way around?
I lucked out and had a great shot of the waves from last winter! Thanks Michelle. I guess I will have some pretty different photos soon! LOL! <3
Yes, you definitely will. Where in Colorado are you moving?
Colorado Springs. 😄
I’ve heard it’s beautiful there. One of my son’s best friends lived there for a few years.
I am excited. My husband has been there before and loved it. 💗
Ooh! I love this one. Gorgeous cleansing waves.
I knew you would get it, Viva! 💗 Thank you.
