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 Andrea Piscitelli Narciso [3]. Andrea has done so before in May 2017, June 2023, and May 2024. Thank you for your interesting and challeging prompts, Andrea!
wildflowers
always fighting
even themselves
~ Wildflowers
forgotten wet laundry
smells like wet dog
but doesn't bark
~ Wet Dog
looking at
the verdant valley
a crow crosses
~ Verdant
man and dog
on this lazy sunday
traipsing along
~ Traipse
fresh green thickets
dandelions in the meadows
I sing with the birds
~ Thicket
out of the cold earth
the hop tendrils wind upwards
to cast cool shadows
~ Tendrils
all the sunflowers
are turning their heads
as the sun speeds off
~ Sunflower Field
the sun shines
through the fresh maple leaves
a checkerboard of circles
~ Sun-Dappled
the spider's web
silken and sticky
still empty
~ Spider Web
drowsy
the sun behind the shades
joins the siesta
~ Siesta
a walk on the beach
enjoying sun and ocean
oh, sandy feet
~ Sandy Feet
in the riverbed
tossing and turning
as in our bed
~ Riverbed
all wishing
to be reborn
as nature does
~ Rebirth
onwards to mars
calling
REBIRTH REBIRTH REBIRTH
~ Rebirth
to the rhythm
of the raindrops
sipping tea ~ Raindrops
a blackbird flies
into the cherry tree
petals trundling down
~ Petals
always fighting
even themselves
~ Wildflowers
