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 1s Rick Daddario [3]. Rick has done so before in October 2023, April 2024, and November 2025. Thank you for prompting, Rick!
jealousy in
the voice in the hollow
a pact with evil
~ Hollow
sirocco leaving
ripples in the sand
messages to read
~ Ripple
kysylkum
no tree, no shade
just a picnic spot
~ Shade
green moss around
the stones and the old pond
not the rolling stones
~ Moss
furry creases
and yellowed paper
your last letter
~ Paper
the moon shines
through the fresh beech foliage
Green Lantern
~ Lantern
the cherry blossoms
seem so brittle
but last long enough
~ Brittle
echo of silence
peeling off the wall
gratitude
~ Echo
soft breeze
moving buttercups
and butterflies
~ Soft
after the storm
petals on the ground
and spring
~ Petal
primordial
out of monochrome
colors arise
~ Pre-Dawn
sleepless
at pre-dawn
a sneak preview
~ Pre-Dawn
kung fu painting
strokes fast as lightning
from the palette
~ Palette
nature's palette
not color no. 3434
just the sky
~ Palette
the moon retreats
the night gets darker
still some embers glow
~ Ember
after the rain
mists fill the valley
fogged-up glasses, too
~ Mist
don't tell me
you don't remember
the tide is high
~ Tide
sand castles
vanishing
with the tides
~ Tide
