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 Andrea Piscitelli Narciso[3]. Andrea has done so before in May 2017, June 2023, and May 2024. Thank you for prompting again, Andrea!
