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 15th year. [1] I enjoy writing to the prompts on Facebook. Here are some interesting links: [2]. Our prompter this month has been Hazel Hall, who already had done so in 2017 and 2025 [3]. Thanks a lot for having prompted this month, Hazel!
