Photo prompt: GAME
A photo taken on Christmas Day. ‘Frustration’, the most popular game with the little ones this year.
Haiku prompt: VAST and CLEAR
~
vast jumble of games
all plastic and flashing lights
now cleared away – Phew!

“I’m so excited!” Tra la la La!!!!! this is the first week for our 52 week Photo Challenge! You don’t need to do every one of the 52 weeks, just join in when you want to. I like to combine the photo challenge with Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge – at first my heart sinks – I think – IMPOSSIBLE – and then somehow it all comes together – “it’s a kinda magic”, bits of songs keep whirling around in my head.
Euphoria has set in now that the whole Christmas thing is over and life can get back to normal. There’s even the promise of a bit of sunshine here today, that makes me very happy!
🙂
Photo Challenge devised by Cathy, Jane, Melissa and Me

Next week’s Prompt:
HAPPY

Thank you so much for your comment. Sometimes the haiku take one by surprise, it is wonderful when others point out a deeper quality. One of the magical gifts of Ron’s haikumily. 😀

Thank you Sarah. I find the present giving side of the festivities too much to bear. The grandchildren get something made with yarn from me. Thanks for dropping by.

Thank you Denis, you have given me another way of reading this haiku. To clear away the ‘plastic’ and the ‘flashing lights’ of life is a daily practice. 👍❤️

I love ‘Game Night’! Cute haiku. I’m so tempted by this challenge. I’m just terrified to add more on my already full plate, but I’m going to try to do at least a few. 😉

They are all eagerly listening as my daughter explains the rules – it was a lovely calm after Christmas dinner scene. I was so thrilled when I realised I had my ‘Game’ photo!

All five grandchildren seemed to like the game, so it might become a family favourite here as well – I’d never seen it before. So happy you have joined us in the challenge and welcome aboard Wild Daffodil, thanks for the follow! ❤

I know! That’s what I love about this challenge it brings out diversity and nuggets of delight in the glimpses of aspects of us all that might not appear otherwise – I just love it! (If only I had a better zoom lens, I might have been able to get a picture of the pheasant that struts his stuff past my garden most days). Looking forward to ‘Happy’!
