Welcome to Haiku Heights!



Welcome to Haiku Heights, a place for weekly Haiku prompts. Every Saturday, some time between 9AM and 12PM IST, I'll give a word as the theme for the week's haiku. You are free to use it as you feel appropriate (in a Haiku, or Senryu ; not a free verse). You can use the word, or build upon its meaning, the only rule here is that it should sync with the topic.! We hope you enjoy sharing your haiku with us here each week.

If you are a contributor here, you can also suggest topics for future prompts. I'll save your suggestions and pick up one from the list at random each Sunday! You can suggest at the prompt suggestions page.

Prompt #53


This year has gone fast. Today, Haiku Heights meme turns one year young. A venture I took to share and heighten my love for the form has grown quite a lot and I've found many similar beating minds. Let us begin the year free of any topics. This week, you can share as many and as vivid haiku as you wish. There is absolutely NO THEME for you to stick to.

These are the general rules here. I rephrase them just so no confusion exists.

1. Write a haiku on the prompt given and post in your blog.
2. Link back to Haiku Heights either with the code given in the bottom bar here, or with a hyperlink.
3. Enter your name and link into the Linky widget. (It should be the post link, and not your blog link in general)
4. Read and enjoy as many of the other writers as well.

The linky is closed.

Please note: I will remove the link if the post is just a random one or another form.

The theme for Week 54, starting July 30th,  will be CONFESSION suggested by Fiducia.



If you would like to pursue your love for the haiku form further, Rebecca and Jenn over at Haiku My Heart Friday and Sensational Haiku Wednesday also host memes for the form. You can look in on the respective days and link in to their linky widgets and find more of the haiku lovers like yourself. Cheers. More details and link to the memes can be found in the page "The Haiku Memes" on the menu bar above.

An alluring scent,
indecently delicious,
renders gents senseless.

The sweltering heat
made off with all my muse juice,
leaving me with this.
