Day Three: Friendly orange haiku Friday

• Manja Maksimovič

I have just written ten pretty random haiku poems with words from the limited word bank. Have a look. Oh, and they are all orange, for Friendly Friday.

Prompt 3: “First, make a list of ten words. … Now, for each word, use Rhymezone to identify two to four similar-sounding or rhyming words. … Once you’ve assembled your complete list, work on writing a poem using your new ‘word bank.'” 

This was my task for today’s poem, and as for the Friendly Friday photo challenge, Sandy wants us to re-imagine orange and instil some positive meanings in it again, I’m sure. I don’t temper with my photos much, so instead I equipped them with words.

First I had a look through my archives and selected ten photos with a distinctly orange subject. These orange subjects became my main words. Then I followed the directions, created my word bank and assembled ten haikus that you can find under each photo.

Pretty much every used word is a rhyming or similar sounding word of one of the main words. These are always the opening words: orange, train, vest, bag, work, syrup, food, light, castle, sunset.

And when you’re done reading, click on the last photo and see them again in a colourful gallery (at least on the big screen). Enjoy!

  • Orange like light rain
    fed by syringe, worth foreign
    knowledge. Pretty bug.
  • Train, trendy, gains vast
    terrain. Fooled for weeks, brain fights.
    Grain, feet, cattle late.
  • Vest, dressed with a wink
    as perk, with right zest, best bang,
    yet slightly in jest.
  • Bag-a-rag! Beg, bog-
    gy bay bat, to spite the nest
    of white worms. Grunge on.
  • Work stains the famed game.
    Forkfed word sensors in dork’s
    foot. Lest vet says yes.
  • Syrup in storage
    stirs up cancelled census. Sigh.
    Damned Villach stirrups.
  • Food brag feud. Dudes strip
    and hustle solicited
    lewd nudes. Scrub? Later.
  • Light lied, less frame strain!
    Don’t waste the west crest. Might not
    quite work, your lame flight.
  • Castle bustles with
    forks, barking, pork. Hassle in
    drains. Porridge again.
  • Sunset: vistas, some-
    what censored for your senses.
    Subset: zealot. Blog.

For Day 3 of NaPoWriMo 2020
