Monday Haiku time! And Ron has given us a tough couple of words this week!
Rein & Quest
Two takes this week…
The Hunter
Now the hunt is on
Excitement can’t be suppressed
It’s within my graspRitu 2016
Sleeping Beauty – A Tanka
Holding the reins tight
I gallop into the woods
On a quest for love
To find the Princess I seek
Asleep for a hundred years.Ritu 2016

Nicely done. I like how you used synonyms in the haiku and the tanka was really good.

I had an initial thought, but felt it was a bit to obvious. You did a much better job than I
