TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge

The main square of the insanely picturesque Rennes

The ancient lattice

Enclose for five hundred years

Life’s tiny moments

Welcome to TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge. My apologies for not popping up last weekend as I was staying with my Brother in Melbourne whose quaint Aussie bungalow seemed not to like internet.

The challenge words for this week are “Moment” and “Ancient”

You can use either the words or the picture to construct your own haiku and add a link in the comments section at the end of the post (press the black speech bubble to access)

This is a picture I took in Rennes several years ago. This is a most delightful section of the Capital of Brittany. The whole area is full of these amazing, colourful buildings and the endlessly “wonky” shapes are so delightfully human that I was in rapture with each new twist and turn of the streets.

I also ate was was definitely the most delicious filled baguette that I have ever eaten in France (which is definitely saying something given how delicious the bread is everywhere.) The fact it was passed to me through the shutters of a 16th Century shopfront, unchanged for 500 years, also helped to make it memorable.

Thanks to those who composed wonderful Haiku for the last challenge!

Tucked into a Corner started with a wonderful triplet of haiku about the sun and moon and its effects. Always wonderful interpretations of the prompts!

But I Smile Anyway has two very different takes on the prompt. Beautiful writing.

Misplaced Peaces has produced a wonderful form of cascading haiku where each haiku, complete in itself, moves into the theme of the next. It is a very effective and fascinating use of the haiku form. Check it out for inspiration.
