This week, the prompt words for Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Challenge are BRIDGE and MOVE.
The example provided by Ronovan:
SEASONS ARE TO BRIDGE
LIFE FROM BEGINNING TO END,
WILL CHANGE YOUR FUTURE.

I often use my current work in progress as inspiration for the haikus, and a little poetic license! I’ve got a lot to learn yet about this form of poetry, but I enjoy both the challenge and the practice. My current WIP is about men and women who served together – one in particular who had quite a journey to recovery.
Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks, Vashti. I’m so glad you enjoyed it ❤
Enjoyed your haiku – the stark yellow and black reminded me of road signs and enhanced the suggestion of a long, arduous journey 🙂
I never thought of it that way, but it makes a lot of sense. I’m glad you enjoyed it 😀

Very good Melissa, I like how you’ve linked it to your WIP, I haven’t done that for a while, think I did in the past….. Maybe next time!
Sometimes I channel the characters so much, it affects everything I write! I’m glad you enjoyed the haiku 😀
Writers – we get so involved in our characters! I know just what you mean…
