Welcome to Haiku Heights!

The topics for the April challenge are now finalized and can be found in the page "The Heights of Haiku - April 2012" in the menu above. Are you joining us in the Heights of Haiku then?

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 #94 - Obsession



Welcome to Haiku Heights. Our 94th prompt for you is OBSESSION, suggested by Amy Trumble who blogs over at Originals.


This prompt will end at 9AM IST on 19th November.

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 #95 begins 19th November: URN.

  2. Hey Hank,

    Don't let it disturb you :) It just means that you can delete it when you want it to. No one else will be able to see it agaisnt your name.

    When you link in, the X comes, so that if ur link has any errors, you can correct it after deleting. It'll stay there till the prompt closes or you clear the cookies from your web browser! :)
