Hello! Welcome to Haiku Heights and we're into day nine of the one month odyssey! Each day we are going to try and write a haiku. My name is Leo, your host and I blog at I Rhyme Without Reason blog. Today, the 9th of April, our ninth topic for the month and our 121st overall is SEASHORE, suggested by Kristjaan Panneman who blogs at "Chèvrefeuille's haiku-blog" blog.
This prompt will end at on 10th April 2012 at 1 PM IST.
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.

This is a lovely site. I was inspired by today's prompt, seashore, and I just made my first contribution to this haiku challenge. Thank you for the opportunity to participate!
Enjoying reading the submissions and have learned some more. The cascading form for one. I have seen the 353 and 575 mixed between stanzas... firt 353 then 575 or vice versa. Is this an accepted form ? Just wondered before I write something similar.
Oh that's quite fine, Tigerbrite. as long as each haiku is less than/equal to 17 syllables, I'm fine with it.
