Unity Unbroken – Haiku Sonnet

/ Deborah / 10 Comments

The basic premise of the Haiku Sonnet is simple: 4 3-liner haiku plus a couplet of either 5 or 7 syllables adds up to 14 lines, the same number of lines found in a sonnet.

The Haunted Wordsmith Genre – Elemental – Opposites Attract Challenges.

Genre:  The purpose of this challenge is to push ourselves to dip our toes in other genres than we normally write in.  Today’s genre: Haiku Sonnet.

Opposites Attract:  For this challenge, I provide one word and a list of its antonyms. The challenge is to use the prompt word AND one (or more) of its antonyms in some form of writing (or creative work). 

Today’s prompt: restful – Antonyms: boisterous, clamorous, clattery, deafening, loud, noisy, raucous, rip-roaring, roistering, romping, rowdy, tumultuous, unquiet, uproarious, woolly (also wooly).

Elemental:  For this challenge, we will explore one of the four elements: air, earth, water, fire.  This week’s focus is Water.  Simply use the word and/or image provided and be inspired by the natural element.

Today’s prompt and image: cascading.

cascading water

restful for the peace of mind

freedom from unquiet

 

gentle droplets spray

the face causing refreshment

breathe in cooling touch

 

listening to nature

guiding my meditation

soothing music heard

 

soul lays in stillness

freed is mind from distractions

our hearts joined as One

 

my Beloved and I fused

in unity unbroken
