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.

September Heights - Day26 - P#185 - Paper Boat



Welcome to the September Heights! Five days, five prompts to bring to a close, a haikulicious month..

Day 26, the topic is PAPER BOAT.


This prompt will end at on 27th SEPTEMBER 2012 at 1:30PM IST.

Post a haiku on the theme and link back to us here!

Before you dash off to write, these are some general haiku rules, here at the Heights.

  1. Please keep your haiku to a maximum of 17 syllables. Do not exceed.
  2. Syllables and words aren't the same thing. For e.g. the single word "traditional" would have four syllables since it's pronounced "tra-di-tio-nal".
  3. We aren't having a rigid structure. Feel free to have the freedom in how you write across three lines, whilst keeping the spirit of haiku and to rule #1.

And some linking help...

  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 so your readers and friends can join us if they are interested.
  3. Enter your name and link into the Linky widget. (It should be the post link, and not your blog link in general. In your blog, click on the post title. The URL in the address bar would be the post link.).
  4. Read and enjoy as many of the other writers as well. When you read more, most of them return to read yours.

For the month of September, and this heights challenge, Haiku Heights shall not be accepting Haibuns (stories with a haiku in it).

Please note: The plural of haiku is still haiku, and not haikus.

Please note: We at Haiku Heights only need the haiku to be reflective of the topic. You need not actually use the word in your haiku.





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.

For those new to Wordpress, please note, if you are not able to leave comments, please log in to Wordpress.com using your Gravatar login credentials and try to comment, OR use one of your e-mails which do not have a Gravatar or Wordpress.com account attached to it.

We are in September Heights month now. Please check here for a complete list of September prompts.
