My haiku for RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge–a fun activity and contest that is open for everyone to participate, and helps keep our creative writer’s mind active! This week’s words are: Silent & Loud. I hope you enjoy.
“Unnoticed”
I wait in silence
Nobody notices me,
Though my heart screams loud.

“Give a Hug”
Sad, silent raccoon
I reach to give it a hug,
Loud growl, it attacks!

How to read a haiku:
Sad, silent raccoon, I reach to give it a hug.

haha to #2! Watch out for those little rascals! 😉 Varmits. 😀 The first one, makes my heart so sad. I hate that anyone goes unnoticed in life. Nice haikus, E.!

They may be unnoticed, but I hope they come to realize, as I did, that God does see them. The 2nd haiku idea came from the movie Elf when Buddy tries to hug the angry raccoon, lol! XD

The first I, unfortunately, can relate to. The perils of being a quiet person. And the second made me laugh. I like the pairing of them. 🙂

Thanks, phoenixgrey. I wrote the 1st based on past experiences. Yes, the many perils, few people understand what it’s like. The 2nd reminds me of the movie Elf when buddy hugs the angry raccoon. 🙂 I’m glad you liked them.

Ha ha! I love how you do a serious, thoughtful haiku and a humorous one using the same challenge words. And I like both of this week’s pieces. I’ve felt #1 before, when I’ve been at my lowest. And #2 – watch out for those critters! *lol*

#1 was a difficult one, based on many past experiences; glad to know I haven’t been the only one. #2, ohmygoodness, raccoons are not nice critters, lol! My grandma used to love feeding them, and I would be terrified every evening they came around XD.

Ohhhh yah. Here’s a true raccoon story: I was coming home from dance class one night. Mom and Dad had forgotten to turn the driveway lampposts on for me (they have a 300 ft long driveway, so it’s kind of creepy in the dark). So I was going slowly – and a raccoon waddled across the driveway, right in front of me! I almost didn’t stop in time. 😮 Then as I kept driving to the house, it scurried behind a tree nearby and started screeching at me. And when I say screeching, I mean SCREECHING. *lol* It’s funny to look back on it now, but it wasn’t then!

Ohmygoodness, I would have screeched in fright back at it! XD Lol, that would terrify me. It’s worse that they like to come out at night, too, eek. At least you were in a car and not walking.

Hey! I know this isn’t related, but have you seen Rachael’s post about the BlogBattle? Are you going to switch from your serial to short stories? I’m trying to decide what I’m going to do, and I wondered what other people were doing.

I’ll stick with Madnes Solver. I might throw in something short every 3 weeks or so to change things up. What will you do?

That sounds like a good idea. I may try that. But for now, I’ll probably stay with mine, too. Thanks for the opinion. 🙂
