This week, the prompt words for Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Challenge are START and HOT.
The example provided by Ronovan:
THE SEASONS CHANGE HERE,
FROM HOT TO COLD THE AIR CHILLS,
AND THE BIRDS START SOUTH.
If you’ve never tried out a haiku before, and you’d like to learn more, click here to read Ronovan’s article on how to write a haiku poem in English form.
Here is my contribution. I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by.

Lovely, Mel!
Thanks, Sue 😀
🙂
Beautiful 🙂
Yay! Thanks so much 😀
I like this a lot, Mel. I like that even ‘blazing’ heat is welcomed. It keeps these hot parts of the world in perspective.
Thanks, Jacqui 😀
Love it Mel! Helios, the titan god of the sun is a permanent resident here in south Florida. 😉 Brilliant use of the prompt words. 😀
Thanks, Vashti ♡ Helios doesn’t visit here very often! 😉
You’re quite good at haiku, Melissa. 🙂 Well done… even sneaking in some punctuation!
Thanks, that’s a nice compliment 🙂 Poetry is not my strong suit, but I try and Ronovan’s prompts are great.
Yeah, a bit of homage to Greece with Helios. We hardly see him or Apollo in dreary old Scotland.
Ah, but Scotland has so many other gifts to offer 😀
Yep, it does 😀
Very nice Mel. 🙂
Thanks, Marje 😀
