It was a tough prompt this week. I instantly thought I my father, but the words wouldn’t come. So, my first attempt reflects my frustration, and is a bit of fun. Here are the prompt words Ronovan set:
The Prompt Words

My Example
The Loss of a dream
Is the door to another
Inspiration here?
The following is how the sentences should read.
The loss of a dream is the door to another.
Is the door to another inspiration here?
I am at a loss
Adrift in a sea of words
Searching for my muse
Echoed memories
In the ghosts of those we lost
We find our true strength

These are wonderful, Mel! So much power in so few words 🙂
Thanks, Callum. I got there eventually! I’m glad you enjoyed them 🙂
“Echoed memories
In the ghosts of those we lost
We find our true strength.”
I liked this stanza rather than the first, for it relates to what I am experiencing right at this moment. Moreover, I admire your choice of words. Very excellent. 🙂
Thank you very much 🙂 It’s how I feel too. The first poem was just a bit of silliness. I’m glad you could relate to it and appreciate your kind words.
No problem. I am thankful for having a chance to read this. 🙂
I’m glad I could share it 😀
Hehe. 😉
Hi! Both haiku are very good. I can relate with the first one. I think most writers can. 🙂
Thank you 🙂 I think you’re absolutely right. The first one was a bit of fun, but no less true! I’m glad you enjoyed them.
Stop looking for your muse, she clearly has a tight hold on you. 🙂
I think I found her…she’s a stubborn one 😉
