RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge
Happy Haiku Friday! This week’s prompt words are Guide and Map. Hmmm, not exactly poetic words. Well, this is what I came up with this week. I hope you like my haiku.

A mind map is a powerful graphic technique used to visually organize information and unlock creativity.
Have you ever used this technique for storytelling, blogging or to plan an event? Has it worked for you?
Hi Vashti, love this haiku. Great description of mind maps!
I think you mis-read the prompt words – they were Guide and Mad. Still great though 🙂

Hi Suzanne! I believe you’re right. 😉 I think I made it more difficult for myself with Guide and Map as prompts but in the end it worked out. 😀 xx

I like to use prompts as a way of prompting ideas. Sometimes the person running the challenge will tell me I misinterpreted their prompt. I apologise and either try and conform to their rules or just simply stop doing their challenges. 🙂

I agree. I see the prompt words like you do. Ron’s usually pretty layed-back about our interpretation of the prompt words which is good and he also tells us that we don’t have to use his prompts. I like this challenge because it’s a good way for me to exercise my creative muscles. 😀 xx

Great Haiku, even if mad became map. Love your Mind Map design. Would love to know how to do it. Does one need a specific program to work one something so fantastically creative. I would love to learn. Jk 🙂

Oops! Yes, I messed up the prompt words this week. Mind mapping is not as difficult as it looks. I’m sure there’s a mind map app, since there’s an app for everything but I do my mind maps by hand. I love to draw and I find freehand mind mapping more fun. 😀

I am more than just a little impressed at the quality of your art work on the mind maps. Will have to see if there is an app. But I do like to do posters – just have to do in free form. Will check these out & try my hand at it. Your mind maps are beautifully structured and inspiring. 😀

Mind maps are a great chance to make your thoughts a visual delight. Back to being a kid with plenty of coloured pens and different scripts. Good for your creativity. Lovely haiku and a happy chance you misread the prompts. 🙂
