Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge #63 – Stag and Noise
….this week’s prompts from Ronovan Writes are stag and noise
The Young Groom’s Dilemma
Noises from within
Hammered against his temples
Last night’s stag replayed
Rutting
The stag raised his head
declaring his win loudly
His noise heard for miles

Haiku Prompt Challenge #48 – ‘Inspire and Loss’
….thank you Ronovan for this week’s words, inspire and loss
This week’s prompts immediately brought to mind Noah Galloway, an Iraq war veteran who was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. Despite being a double amputee he persevered week after week and went all the way to the finals and placed third. The words ‘inspiration and loss’ came up every week after he performed.
Dancing With the Stars
The loss of one arm
and dancing with one leg
Inspired us to vote
************
Bravely baring all
His spirit to dance inspires
His loss, matters not

Five Stories, Five Photos Challenge – Day 3
I was invited by Elizabeth from Tea and Paper to join the Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge “Post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge.” Elizabeth is a fellow Canadian who lives close by but never reveals exactly where. She loves to journal, take photographs and write poetry.
Today I’d like to invite Jodi from Life in Between . Her blog is beautiful, her recipes devine and her art inspiring.

Today’s poem came as a result of a nutrition lesson I presented to my grade 5 health class today. We were examining the nutrition labels on bags of salty snacks. I told the class if we covered everything in my lesson they could sample the contents of the bags if they still wanted to after learning how to interpret the information on the nutrition labels. The lesson went well and the students were very focused. Amazing how the lure of receiving three or four chips kept the class engaged. Some of the students actually turned down the chips as they were passed around.
