Day 1… prompt … now.
Over snow topped hills!
late afternoon sun now spreads
her pale pink apron.
……………………………
Day 2 … prompt … noisily.
Noisily honking
whoopers overwintering
here at Martin Mere.
…………………………..
Day 3 … prompt … nervously.
Waiting patiently
beech leaves shiver nervously
in the winter winds.
………………………….
Day 4 … prompt … nakedly.
Winter beach, naked,
silver now the tide has left,
seashells in the sun.
…………………………….
Day 5 … prompt … nonstop.
The nonstop people
miss today whilst rushing on
towards tomorrow.
…………………………
Day 6 … prompt … nonchalantly.
Andrew is my son.
He arrived nonchalantly
to feed the chickens.
……………………………
Day 7 … prompt … nearest.
The soul of the earth
is nearest when the snowdrops
push through frozen soil.

Comments on: "Nat. Haiku Writing Month" (4)
Wow! I didn’t even know it was National Haiku writing month.
Where are you getting the prompt words?
Though I think I’ll be awhile with IK… though not all of the ‘sentences’ are applicable to me.
And I might get tired of it after a long while. But for now I am enjoying myself.
Keep going and you’ll have a wonderful chap book to create for you and your family.
I know there are programs out there to create chapbooks yourself, though I haven’t found them…(or even just programs to put two poems on a page the opposite way so you can create your own book) but then I haven’t really looked.
It is hard to pick a favorite because they all are nicely packaged little pieces.
Hugs, Jules
I enjoy reading your haiku! I’m currently looking for guest haiku writers at purehaiku.wordpress.com if you’re interested!
Thanks for stopping by Daphne and Polly. Freya I looked at pure haiku and couldn’t decide how to submit.
Jules, go to NaHaiWriMo prompts etc are there and some other helpful stuff. I hope to make my haiku writing better at some time in the future. What is a chap book. Not a term I have heard before. After being inspired by you I bought a copy of instant Karma on kindle. Thank you.
