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 has been Mark Stuart Farrar [3]. Thanks for prompting, Mark!
swimming in
cologne's neptune community pool
my friend masato
~ Poseidon
in the desert
staring at the night sky
with sarah ~ Sahara
hill station in fog
but the train's passengers
are about to ski
~ Passengers
too lazy
to prepare ratatouille
but to eat ...
~ Ratatouille
light of dawn
soothing the night's wounds
the willow still weeps
~ Willow
still don't have
nine bean rows
nor a bee hive
~ Bean
sailing with
elrond and other elves
no, not I, alas!
~ Elf
overboard
katerina and arturo
again overboard
~ Overboard
OVERBOARD
no, we all keep silent
and charon steers on
~ Overboard
curiosity
kills the cat
but works for the dog
~ Sleuth
the sleuth
sniffing for truffels
oh, your dog is a pig
~ Sleuth
still listening to
the vast emptiness of the
frozen borderline
~ Frozen
an icicle falls
silently into the snow from
the frozen gutter
~ Frozen [4]
an icicle falls
silently into the snow
from the frozen gutter
~ Frozen
no eyes
for golden angels
looking at you
~ Gold
the little mermaid
so high up north
not shivering though
~ Mermaid
the words still sound
at lake tanganyika
dr. livingstone i presume
~ Congo
blue, brown, orange,
red and rubine - strange there's no
congo green
~ Congo
blue, brown, orange, red, rubine
there's no congo green
-: strange
~ Congo
she wolf
roaming forest and heath
caring predator
~ Predator
walking barefoot
on a muddy road
sneakers in the hands
~ Sneakers
hopscotch
and pig's dangle
with the cousins
~ Hopscotch
