National Haiku Writing Month (NaHaiWriMo)

February is the shortest month of the year and so is the ideal choice for NaHaiWriMo the writing challenge that focuses on haiku. 

The NaHaiWriMo website is a useful resource that includes:

Why No 5-7-5 an article on why English language haiku don't need to slavishly follow a syllable count

A list of NaHaiWriMo Zoom readings,

A list of Haiku Organisations,

and ideas on How to Get Involved.

The NaHaiWriMo Facebook page contains daily prompts that are added to this post

I've been joining in by posting daily haiku on my @craftygreenpoet Twitter feed. The haiku I've shared so far are:


snow melt -
albino squirrel loses
camouflage

**

#StayAtHome order -
torrential rain makes it
easier

**

snowdrops at your grave -
all these years
without you
