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.

Haiku Heights - Prompt #91 - Sponge


Welcome to Haiku Heights. Our 91st prompt for you is SPONGE and was suggested to us by Gemma Wiseman who blogs over at Greyscale Territory. Have fun.


This prompt will end at 9AM IST on 29nd October.

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.

  • Some of my readers, and new writers at Haiku Heights had asked me how to write a proper Haiku.
  • Haiku is Japanese poetry form that has three meaningful lines which are complete and reflecting nature.
  • Haiku have syllabic limitations as well. A traditional one has eleven or seventeen syllables, in a strict 3-5-3 or 5-7-5 format.

We wish to celebrate the haikai forms through your words. some poets are straying away from the Haiku format so kindly stay within the Haiku limitations. I know it is difficult but very challenging too!!

Thank you. for more details READ HERE.

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

Please note: The plural of Haiku is still Haiku and not Haikus.



Prompt #92 begins 29th October: GHOSTS.

  2. Waiting doggedly for "Ghosts" to start, but my eyes are closing, so I may have to give up for the night (yes, it's late Friday here in the U.S.), go to bed for a few hours, and link up in the morning. **sigh**

  3. My sincere apologies, MMT.. The scheduler had blundered, and I just came online 5 mins back! :(
