Happy Haiku Friday!

Time and Grow are this week’s prompt words chosen by Ronovan Hester of Ronovan Writes. Ron hosts a challenge that anyone could participate in called Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge every Monday, and you have until Sunday to create a post featuring your haiku poem. He is an author and poet and also does author interviews and much more on his blog. Be sure to check it out. Read Ron’s Haiku Prompt Challenge Guidelines for more information.

Measure time’s advance
Yet the timeless in you knows
Today is tomorrow’s recall

Ooh, I like that, ‘today is tomorrow’s recall’. Makes me want to make this a great day, so when I look back on it, I smile! ❤

Hi Vashti,
I was wondering if you would be interested in being part of a “Haiku Hub” I am thinking of setting up on my blog. If you would like to be included just let me know in a reply and I will add your blog to the Hub Page. I am hoping to get as many Haiku writers together to share their writing.

The last one made me laugh. My husband always says he’d hate for me to work at a job like his because it would steal the color from me. I guess he sees I can’t be normal. 🙂
