Does this picture inspire you to write something?

Love-harmony; nice

words, but not for person with,

an empty stomach.

Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge 480. LOVE and Empty.

Good evening and see you next time. 

Guidelines-

Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge 480. LOVE and Empty

I know what the first thing some will think when seeing these words, but Love and Empty can be positive things.

Empty your heart and mind of the impurities of the world and they will be filled with love. Empty your love into others.

Useful Links for Synonyms at Thesaurus.com:

LOVE

Empty

To know how many syllables in a particular word try HowManySyllables.com.

 

How to Write Haiku in English. And how to do a Pingback.

The Guidelines:

  1. Take the two words and write a Haiku. I use Haiku in English (the link shows you how) as my style, which is 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third, but you can use what you like.
    • The link above has links on how to write Haibun and Tanka. You can also do the 3/5/3 form if you like instead of the 5/7/5 that I usually use. Write, share, and have fun. For syllable help,
    • For syllables for each word, and different definitions, you use the definition that works for you Haiku. You can also use SYNONYMS. Go to Thesaurus.com for synonym help.
  2. Copy the link of your finished haiku URL and paste in a comment below so we can all go and visit your Haiku.
    • You can do a pingback. What’s a pingback? Place the URL from the address bar up top from this post as a link within your post. Your inclusion of the link encourages others to try the challenge, be creative, and join a community to find friends and more followers (hopefully). I honestly gain nothing with more people visiting the post. I don’t have ads running that generates revenue by your visit or by clicks on whatever WordPress has put up.
    • Click HERE for a detailed post on PINGBACKS.
  3. If you like, copy the image in this post and place it within their post, just to show the Haiku is part of this challenge.
      • I am not saying you need or even should, but if you would like to do so then go ahead.

Enterprisingly Yours

Better brittle than ductile and bent,

Better unfinished than without a dent,

Ages before getting this sharp edge,

Time gave lesson for truth and courage.

Better broken than being worn,

Better a message than noise weary or torn,

Got a numb soul and skin,

still, can Whirl a lull for the storm to spin.

Good afternoon and see you next time.

Fly you kids! fly high,
On the bicycles of success with ethics and virtues,
fly high, touch all the skies that’s visible to you,
fly high before you are curbed and slowed,
by customs and taboos,
that seem pulling towards the roots, but,
leave you nowhere, certainly not,
amongst the roots and not on the sky, too.

Fly high before,

you are shackled,
fly for your dreams.

What do you see # 203- September 11, 2023

linguistically Yours

Yesterday was the Hindi day, my seriousness to my National language is highly shown by a mere fact that this blog comes a day after the actual date. 😊 For all the countrymen and even those who understand Hindi, my humble submission is that celebrating a day, maybe a fortnight or even a year would not promote it unless we start using it more often than not. It doesn’t really matter if the usage is in fragments or maybe in a blended form with the other language or dialect we speak in or be comfortable in. I personally opine that in a much diversified country like ours, only one language would be difficult to be accepted all across. Having said that, we do require a medium spread and accepted homogenously and Hindi, undoubtedly, bears all of the eligibility required for that.

While penning this, just remembered an article by Late Khushwant Singh when he narrated an incident travelling by train (no..no not pertaining to train to Pakistan book). He said when he read something written as MDHYAPAAN NISHEDH (Liquor prohibited) in Hindi script on a first class compartment, he couldn’t make out exactly what it meant. later, on clarification by fellow passengers only he could understand that he had to officially restrict himself unless he got out of the train on his destination. He, after adding certain details, finally concluded that if only it was written as DAARU PEENA MANA HAI, probably, the impact would have been as expected and message conveyed to people at large.

I don’t, in any form or way, endorse that any language should not preserve and perennially retain its highest refined or sophisticated version for philology, word etymology or linguistic point of view, still what he said also needs to be looked into for wider acceptability propose in a diversified user’s nation.

My best wishes to all of those who write, read, speak, understand or even like Hindi with or without knowing much about it including a vast audience of Bollywood movies.

Good afternoon and see you next time.

Maturely Yours

#TankaTuesday Weekly #Poetry Challenge No. 337, 9/12/23

Good evening and see you next time. 

Guidelines-

This week’s challenge is a photo prompt. This year, my friend, and photographer, Terri Webster Schrandt, from secondwindleisure.com shared her photos with us for inspiration from January through September.

The best thing about these kinds of collaborations is the many friendships forged through the love of photography and poetry. I am indebted to Terri for gifting us her time and sharing her photos. The inspiration was incredible. After 9 months, I feel like we’re ready to birth the new challenge starting on September 26, 2023. Thank you, Terri! 

Don’t forget, Terri runs a weekly photo challenge called Sunday Stills. Check it out HERE.

Terri says: “I found a wonderful photo that symbolizes summers here in Spokane, as well as the testament to relationships built with our neighbors.

It also represents to me the relationships I’ve come to look forward to that were built this year through the Tanka challenge.

I took this photo two summers ago. My neighbor invited me to go kayaking with her and her daughter and granddaughter.

I took the pic of Sarah and Melia as they paddled in front of me along the Little Spokane River. I used a filter to give it an idyllic look.”

Compassionately Yours
