A poison plucked,
Cooked and cooled, before it can,
Be served to you.
-Jann Doe
I’m back!!! It’s been a couple weeks since I posted my weekly(ish) haiku prompt, and for that I apologize. I’d give some lame excuse but lets face it, it is MY blog after all so I’ll do what I want with it. I don’t owe any explanations 😉
Here’s how it works:
Every week(ish) I post a new Haiku prompt and pin it at the top of the home page of this blog. Anyone who writes a Haiku with the prompt used is encouraged to link back to my post and comment. I’ll share your poems on my next prompt post!
EASY PEESY!!I look forward to reading anyone who’s up for writing ‘Witches Brew’ Haiku Challenge poems for the week! Thanks in advance for joining! Please comment on this post with your links so that I can share them.

Haiku for Witches and Potions
Harvest Moon above
coven gathering below
stirring up trouble
wolvesbane eye of newt
bat’s wing lizard’s tail frog’s tongue
stir slowly until cooked
Halloween witch’s
classic image is pure myth
not so obvious
cauldron boil and roil
mystic incantations spoken
mysteries revealed
familiar black cat
crawled alongside purring
what secrets it knows
I came looking because you hadn’t sent me any prompts since re-blogging my Haiku for Summer. So here I am and here are my haiku for Witches Brew. Meantime, over at http://thepeacefulpub.com/ I put up Haiku for Rainbows sometime back, and Haiku for Autumn just today.

Thank you. By the way, on an old episode of “The Rifleman” Lucas McCain and another character (the guest star on that episode) used “witches brew” as a code word meaning that there was trouble.

LOL and I have been slacking! I haven’t spent near as much time on WP as I’d like. Hopefully I can get back into a routine! 😉

It is time consuming, I know. Especially trying to keep a relationship with followers. But I love it. It’s the best thing I’ve done since my daughter moved out

It really is! I have an autistic 7 year old and a very strong willed 4 year old. Time is of the essence. I wish I had a little more blogging time, but sadly I dont. On the other hand, it’s totally fine. I wouldnt trade a second of my mommy time for the world 😏😍

I’m going to be a bit of a poet here and write a Haiku. Wind blows fiercely/ sails billow fully/ my daydreams so vivid

So a Haiku has the first 2 lines about nature, and the third is related but totally different.

“While a haiku does not have to cover natural subjects anymore, it is most often used as a celebration of nature. And although modern haiku still focus on simple yet sensory language that creates a brief moment in time and a sense of illumination, the structure can be looser and traditional rules ignored.”

A Haiku not about nature is called a Senyru.
