NaHaiWriMo Week #1

NaHaiWriMo is providing prompts for National Haiku Writing Month on Facebook. I’m posting mine on Twitter, and will do a weekly roundup here at Watermark. The first week’s prompts were all on the theme of food:

this tuna casserole | delivered to my door by volunteers | tastes like childhood

 

Japanese emblem

 

that winter henhouse smell | the chickens’ arguments | sharper than mine

 

Japanese emblem

 

cheese knife | if only we | could part so cleanly

 

Japanese emblem

 

why does no one say | *eat your ice cream* | Lettuce & Turnips & Beets, Oh My!

 

Japanese emblem

 

a bowl of rice | a cup of tea | and you

 

Japanese emblem

 

old cowboy milking | perfect aim | cats’ open mouths

 

Japanese emblem

& an extra:

 

spilled milk | cat happy to help

 

Japanese emblem
