Small Town Mysteries. Big Time Suspense.
I love how haiku acts as a verbal snapshot of its subject. Below is a haiku for Christmas I wrote a few years ago. If you’re inspired, put your haiku in the comments. Let the muse of poetry ignite your imagination!
Cold and darkness reign.
But one light from a stable
Warms and brightens all.
Since my theme is nature this month, I have to have a haiku prompt, and since it’s September, what could be better than a prompt for fall haiku? I wrote the poem below a few years ago. Fall may still be my favorite season, but my taste seems to be changing. Spring and summer have been garnering more of my affection lately. But fall still brings the best weather to the Buckeye State.
Crisp–the word for fall.
Ripe apples, dry leaves, sharp winds
That hint of winter.

Please leave your fall haiku in the comment below.
This month, my theme is poetry and figurative language. Here’s my haiku to celebrate the new season. IF you write a haiku, feel free to share it below in the comments.
Reaching, stretching, shoots
Push through darkness for one chance
To grasp a sunbeam.
JPC Allen Writes
