#143 - HOUR

Hello! These past five days seem to have gone like five hours as I look forward to yet another week of haiku. My name is Leo, author of the blog "I Rhyme Without Reason" and your host here. Our journey toward "The September Heights" begins today. This is our 143rd theme for your haiku inspiration. Rachana of the blog, "Creation of Hymns" gives us today's topic, HOUR. Have fun!

This prompt will end at on 12th MAY 2012 at 1PM 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.

A small request to all our friends on the Blogger platform. If you could kindly turn off the word verification on your blogs, it'd be a lot easier for others to comment on your blog. The new CAPTCHA type of verification is quite muddling, and it's confusing even the actual bloggers as well.

Our theme next week, #144, is MASK.
