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 prompter this month is Debbie Guzzi, who's doing so for the first time. Thanks a lot for prompting, Debbie! I'm enjoying your prompts very much.
oh mica
not all that glimmers
but still …
~ Mica
colorful foliage
raked into heaps
history, too
~ Rake

at the old pond
the toad jumps
yuck!
~ Toad
empty deckchair
it's raining outside
sizzling haiku inside
~ Sizzling
dry and warm
lying on pine needles
just a hawk's cry
~ Pine Needles
looking at ladybugs
or the color indigo
thinking of coachella
~ Ladybug
crickets and sunset
the fireflies following
living right now
~ Fireflies
light and water
entering the cracks
and ivy
~ Cracks

gothic castle
lichen, moss, and ivy
and of corpse …
~ Lichen
i used to eat
fried fiddleheads
now they grow out
~ Fiddleheads
stopping
the magma flow
with a garden hose
~ Magma
the magic returns
to the reflecting pool
optimist's view
~ Reflection
the brain leaves
ripples of memories
then leaves
~ Ripples
late summer
the time is ripe for
frosted muffins
~ Frost
still blossoms
and ripening fruits
but frost lurks
~ Frost
sleeping ducks
floating on water
with koi beneath
~ Water
