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.

  9. @Heaven, have added most of them into my Excel file, and used one already as well. Thanks!

    @Chèvrefeuille, have taken Seashore. Spring has been suggested earlier by Priyanka, so Springtime would be similar. Other two are too focussed on an aspect I feel, so not taken them at present.

    @Aakriti, thank you, have considered all.

    @Adrienne, welcome aboard. As you see, February prompts are all already out. Have taken into consideration all except Chestnut and Sleep. Please try & be active however, since it'd be delighful that when your prompt is ongoing, your haiku is there too! Thanks!
