Haiku Friday – Beast & Day

Hello! A warm welcome to my blog. Thank you for visiting. Today’s prompt words for Haiku Friday come from RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge. Anyone can participate in Ronovan’s weekly haiku challenges (Mondays). It’s fun and his prompt words always tests one’s abilities. Today’s prompt words are Beast and Day.

When I read the words they immediately made me think of the new Avengers movie The Avengers: Age of Ultron coming May 1st, 2015. Yes––I’m a big “geek girl”. I can’t wait to see it! Anyway, here is my haiku. I hope you enjoy it.

Nerd Disclaimer: I know Beast will not be in the Avengers movie but once upon a time he was part of the Avengers in Marvel comics. So the prompt word “Beast” made me think of him.

 

 

Are you excited about the new Avengers movie? Who’s your favorite hero? Who’s your favorite X-Men? Did you read Marvel comics? Are you a geek? Are you a nerd?
