Honestly shocked to learn that my little spring haiku--tappe into the comments section of an IG post while waiting for my kid--was chosen as one of the winning poems in the @haikuists latest Haiku Feud on #nationalhaikuday! Here's a Godzilla Haiku, along with mine, to celebrate🤗

Instead of Five Word Horror Stories, how about 5-7-5 lines of Haiku Horror?
check engine light blinks
is that smoke? and what's that sound?
roadside, hazards on
Try your hand at writing one!

red splatters the floor
breakfast still on the table
front door left ajar
Try your hand at writing one!
Here's your cue to write a haiku. And an optional prompt: write about a memory that's showed up for you unexpectedly out of the blue. This makes for a good turning point around the 2nd/3rd line.
driving the coastline
inky water, sharp whitecaps--
once I surfed sunrise
Here's a haiku in honor of Typewriter Day!
"but what is that sound?"
*click clack click clack DING*
the typewriter sings
We wouldn't be the same without these trusty antique machines.
PROMPT: write a haiku based on the opening scene of your day.
the morning's greetings:
a cup of coffee? a bee?
sip, buzz, sky-minded.

We've written *quite* a few haiku in our near-decade in business. In fact, we did the math. Our haikuists have likely written over A MILLION haiku collectively. Kudos to our haikuists and their serious skills! Let's see what we do in the next decade.
