I love when Ronovan gives us a challenge with the words he chooses! Both words, cake and wolf, have various meanings that really spoke to me this week. I had to flex my haiku using different forms of the words because of the many options. Tell me which you liked best!
“The Lothario”
Cake = cover (v.)
Wolf = Lothario (n.)
The Lothario –
covering his deeds with slick words,
he wants the naïve.
“Temptation”
Cake = pastries (n.)
Wolf = gorge (v.)
Sweet pastries allure –
frosting drips with calories,
I gorge on my words.
Silver loves writing haiku. How about you? You might be a poet and not even know it! Ronovan teaches us how to write Haiku in English. Click HERE for the link! Come on, Join in and share your own micro poetry!
Thanks for stopping in today. I enjoyed seeing all of you!
Brilliant!!!

Olga, I do it as word play. I am probably quite illogical in expressing my brevity of words. 💗
