TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge

Cascading blossoms reveal a glimpse of the cathedral on a cloudy day in spring.

The stone-cold winter

I watch through the dark windows

Suddenly….Springtime!

Welcome to TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge!

The prompt words this week are “Spring” and “cold”. You can use these in a haiku or take any inspiration you like from the photo which you are also welcome to use in your own post if you like.

Just add a link to your haiku post in the comment (press the black speech bubble at the end to access). Autumn is well on its way here in Western Australia but for “Those that live across the sea”, spring seems to be the thing!

Thanks so much for those that dropped by last week to respond to the prompts “moment” and “Ancient” HERE

Two on a Rant kicked off with this clever haiku about the ancient instincts of domestic animals. It made me think for sure!

The Recovering Know it All has again come up with a wonderful haiku and a very moving reflection stemming from the prompts. The connection with the past is so strong.

Three wonderful takes on the prompts from Ritu of But I Smile Anyway. The fleeting present and the ancient past all combined here.
