Have you written a haiku yet today?

 

Write one haiku a day for the month of February! Why February? Because it’s the shortest month—for the world’s shortest genre of poetry. Join poets around the world who pledge to write at least one haiku a day for National Haiku Writing Month during the year’s shortest month. Or write haiku every day of every month, all year round, on the NaHaiWriMo site on Facebook, with daily writing prompts to inspire you. Find us on Facebook, and click the following links to find out more—including why haiku in English doesn’t have to be 5-7-5.

  • Are You Doing NaHaiWriMo? National Haiku Writing Month is now underway for the seventh straight year. Write at least one haiku per day for the entire month of February—the shortest month for the shortest genre of poetry. Is that easy or hard? Give it a try and find out. Or do it again if you’ve done it before. You can post your poems to our Facebook page, and look for daily writing prompts on our February prompts page (the poems you write don’t have to follow the prompts, though). Or tweet your haiku to #nahaiwrimo. Take the NaHaiWriMo challenge and start today (it’s okay to catch up if you start late). Write on!
