Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge this week presented the words, “Gold” and “Crane”, and as he often does, encouraged us to check our thesaurus out for these multifaceted gems. Naturally, once I found myself in synonym heaven, it was impossible to write just one Haiku…so I give you three. If you’d like to read more or join the challenge click HERE.
More precious than pure gold
Fold one thousand paper cranes
Healing dreams come true.
Cauldrons of apples
golden delicious butter
suspended on cranes.
She was a rude oaf
craning her neck, eavesdropping
hoarding lies, like gold.

I am so impressed at the lateral thinking in these glorious Haiku!
Golden words sweet as syrup
Drip from your pen nib
I crane my head to listen.

I shared this post with one of my Facebook friends who is on a mission to complete 1000 cranes before her day of retirement next year! She started quite awhile ago.
