the monkey gazes
adoringly at himself
as they kiss his ass
Views are my own but thanks for the inspiration to Ronovan Writes and his challenge to use chimpanzee (which I subbed in monkey) and kiss in a haiku.
*My apologies to actual monkeys, apes, chimps ….

stop hiding your face
silently wishing for change
turn to stone no more
Thanks to Ronovan Writes for the word prompts (face / change) that fit perfectly with the Sunday Photo fiction prompt. Photo courtesy of Pixabay
Not sure if I’m interpreting the lyrics as intended but they inspired me as well …
Turn To Stone (written and performed by Joe Walsh)
rising together
in harmonic convergence
to share our voices
Thanks to Ronovan Writes for the haiku challenge words (share / voice) and to Sadje for her What Do You See photo inspiration. It brought the idea of “harmonic convergence” into my mind.
glass ceilings shatter
and chains of oppression fall
granting space for all
Thanks to Ronovan Writes for the challenge to write a haiku using glass and breaks (for which I subbed in shatter).
disguised by deceit
as they race for the dollar
unmoved by our pain

Thanks to Ronovan Writes for today’s haiku challenge. Our words were cloak (for which I substituted disguised) and race. The challenge inspired me but the opinions are my own. And my apologies to elephants everywhere. They are smart and very empathetic creatures. They deserve better than to be linked to the orange one and his minions.
