Haiku Friday – Nightmare & Horror

The Writer Next Door | Vashti Q

Hi, everyone! Welcome!

◊

My best friend, Sophia won’t stop wailing and howling in the middle of the night. “It burns, it burns!” she screams. I visit her at her mother’s house, where her ashes are kept in an urn, but it doesn’t help.

◊

◊

Night terrors visit

Sleep’s become a memory

I fear the darkness

◊

The blue in his eyes

became the new shade of my

nightmares––Don’t wake me.

◊

◊

Nightmare and Horror are this week’s prompt words chosen by Ronovan Hester of Ronovan Writes.

Ron hosts a challenge that anyone could participate in called Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challengeevery Monday, and you have until Sunday to create a post featuring your haiku poem. He is an author and poet and also does author interviews and much more on his blog. Be sure to check it out. Read Ron’s Haiku Prompt Challenge Guidelines

Around The Swamp

These are a few shots taken as we headed out to the heron rookery.

Ibis, normally very loud and shy, have calmly settled in around edges of the cypress tree area. Below a few foraged between the cypress knees (upward roots).

For now the Great Blues have been hunting just on the out skirts of the main rookeries. As more birds move in they will probably need to move further out due to competition.

This day was so dull the photograph here is an HDR image. Three images were combined to get as much dynamic range as possible.
