February, as the shortest month of the year, has been chosen to honor the shortest poem of the craft: the haiku. The official title of the movement is NaHaiWriMo, and you can learn more from their official website at www.nahaiwrimo.com.
NaHaiWriMo is simply a challenge to write one haiku each day during the month of February.
The PWE Community welcomes participation in this challenge and hosts a forum thread specifically for it at https://poetwriterextraordinaire.com/forums/forum/pwe-community-forum/nahaiwrimo/.
At the official website, www.nahaiwrimo.com, you will find history about the haiku, guidelines for writing haiku, and even a daily writing prompt for haiku, along with fun facts.
So grab a pencil and a notepad and join us in this challenge!
We can’t wait to see what you write.
Some things you can do with your haiku after you write them:
- Go to the forum above and post it in a new topic.
- Share it on your favorite social media sites.
- Enter it into various contests.
- Use it to make a greeting card.
- Send it to a friend.
