Lost music
My stiff fingers slide
over the forgotten fret,
and the chill will pass.

Lighten Up
I fret as I light
the fireplace to chase away
the chill in my room.

Lullabye
Fret not Little One,
I’ll play until you’re asleep.
Song warms your chilled heart.

Challenge #29 Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Challenge. I especially LIKE his example. I can completely relate.
It’s
Today is a day like no other days that have ever been called days before this day ever became a day. On this day I decided to base today’s prompt words on Sunday’s Sunday Thought for the day. Won’t you be glad when I stop talking about days? That being said, remember that you use the definition of a word as you see fit.
One quick thing. I have noticed in my social network travels that we aren’t following each other on Twitter. I follow everyone I have a Twitter Handle for. Every one, follow our Haiku friends.
My Example
Have you never ventured into our haiventure? “Hiaku, adventure? Haiventure? Yeah, I make up words. Just not for the purpose of the Haiku. Hmm, although that gives me an…

Sounds like a powerfully written novel.

Author: Amma Darko
Binding: Paperback
Genre: Fiction
Pages: 199
Publication Date: 2003 This Edition 2010

Reasons for Reading: Won the book in a Reading Relay organised by logo-ligi and also from my TBR
Faceless is the third novel written by Amma Darko, with an introductory essay by Prof. Kofi Anyhidoho. It tells of the death of Baby T, a child prostitute whose naked, beaten and mutilated body is found dumped behind a marketplace in Agbogbloshie, a slum area in Accra, the capital of Ghana. Details of the murder and Baby T’s life, are skilfully revealed by the author through two sources: one, Baby T’s younger sister Fofo, herself a street child; and through the rehabilitative intervention of an NGO, known as MUTE whose efforts through one of its Programme Officers, Kabria, unearth’s the proverbial can of worms that is the whole story of Faceless

Lovely!
I love the illustration & the uplifting Haiku.
Thanks to RonovanWrites for providing the haiku challenge prompt. This week’s words are “joy” and “freedom,” and my inspiration came from the American Revolution (1775-83).
Fighting for freedom
brings joy to the battlefield
after victory.
Ronovan Writes has done it again. ❤
Words picked at random end up evoking thoughts and imaginings that you never considered. Potential humor, societal commentary but love and desire? Those words never came to mind when I chose the prompts for the week. But then this is me. This is my mind and my imaginings and regardless of what may be the spark, the fire always seems to rage in the same direction, across the same landscape of the mind.
This was written for a special reason as I was thinking of something and the words wrote themselves. Though they did not end up in the home where they were written I wanted to share them as I thought they needed to be shared. I do hope you enjoy.
Much Respect

Brain Strain
Thoughts pop into mind,
I fail to pay attention,
unplanned, unwanted.
Changing Sky
Cotton candy clouds
which pop up from the northwest,
And the sunlight fails.
Great way of showcasing all the responses…I like it.
Grace of, well she has two blogs on two different platforms, as I do, but I think she actually uses both of hers. One is-{Bloom} Pictures+Wordson blogspot and Grace Notes here on WordPress. Her Haiku this week is at blogspot and is titledSong of Joy. Normally I put in things from a new member’s About page but, wow, she does so much, so go read here. And follow on Twitter as well. @grace_note58 Oh and she is such a nice lady.
AC Elliott of File Cabinet Ramblings: He wrote for us this week Joy. A spiritual message. @Elliott_acT.A. Wyatt–Finale to an Entrance–Faultless: People keep missing out on these Haiku. You need to check them out. Sometimes they give you a thought that, well, makes you…
