Charmed by a Witch: Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge #47

Published by

challenge47I decided to take part in Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge again this week because, as the regular contributors would agree – it’s addictive!

It’s not a surprise that one of my characters (Maddison) is on my mind a lot at the moment, so the instant I read the prompt words from Ronovan’s challenge today – Water and Bard – Maddy popped into my head. I’m writing a scene in which Maddy manipulates a body of water, much to the amusement of her friends. The words were easier than normal. I’m not quite sure if that’s a good thing! But at least I tried, and had fun doing it 🙂

So, here is my contribution this week:

      Thanks, Callum. It’s been a while, but Ronovan’s challenge is fun and I thought it was about time I got some practice in again. The thing has me hooked 😀

        I must admit, I’ve been really fixated on haikus recently myself. There’s something so beautiful about their simplicity that I find so addictive 🙂

        I noticed that. But then, you inspire me to do better; your skill is truly inspirational 😀

    That’s the thing about Haikus. They are always deep and meaningful, and personal. What I read into your Haiku may be completely different than someone else. And that’s good.

      That’s so true, Jacqui. It’s my favourite thing about poetry, and indeed writing in general 😀

    Cool haiku! It definitely helps to have the image graphic. A nice touch. 🙂 Of course, I have an infinity for any story dealing with water and magic!

      Thanks, Alex 🙂 I’m totally with you on the water element! It’s powerful magic all on its own.
