National Haiku Writing Month has been founded by the well known haiku poet Michael Dylan Welch. The goal is to write at least one haiku a day. National Haiku Writing Month is in its 14th year. [1] I enjoy writing to the prompts on Facebook. Here are some interesting links: [2]. Our daily writing prompter for October 2025 has been Hazel Hall [3], who already had prompted during 0ctober 2017. Thank you very much, Hazel!
thinking of
the third man
you hear the zither
~ Zither
amidst the noise
of the construction machine
a didgeridoo
~ Yidaki
you play
yidaki and I dance
sirtaki
~ Yidaki
xylophone
vibraphone and steel drums
just good vibes
~ Xylophone
hill station in fog
and the train's whistle
but we stay
~ Whistle
each cherry blossom
and each autumn leaf
variations of life
~ Variation
happy
to disagree
in unison
~ Unison
getting lost
in the bermuda triangle
eh love triangle
~ Triangle
the nights are colder
the foliage turns red
the heat is on
~ Turn
grandad
walking with his stave
another new one
~ Stave
across the pebble sea
reaching and not-reaching
the rock islands
~ Rock
still resonating
picnic at hanging rock
calling miranda
~ Rock
rain patting
the colored foliage
time to rest
~ Rest
autumn leaves
quavering
until they fall
~ Quaver
halfway up the hill
the old man wipes his forehead
the fish is gone
~ Pause
high pitched
galileo, galileo
still vibrating
~ Opera
i'll spend
a night at the opera
queen or marx brothers
~ Opera
natural gas
burning at the gates of hell
not on my trip
~ Natural
the fairytale
motif in mind
murder she wrote
~ Motif
