Hello readers,
Welcome to the first HaikuPrajna Challenge, a new monthly prompt series using the titles of the books that have been reviewed on this blog, which I am starting in honour of HaikuPrajna’s fourth birthday!
This prompt challenge has no winners, and I will be resharing submissions on Instagram and Twitter until the next prompt is posted; this is an opportunity for us both to interact and engage with the haiku poetry writing community.
GUIDELINE RULES
. Open to all humans, even those who would never read the book are encouraged to participate!
. Write a haiku / senryu / zappai based on what the prompt made you first think about.
. Each prompt is a book title, if you have never read the story, write about the visuals that the title inspires for you.
. Remember to evoke imagery with your poem, traditional haiku is said to juxtapose two nature or season related visuals.
. Please provide a text-based version if submitting an image.
. Use the hashtag #HaikuPrajnaChallenge
If you need inspiration, or if you are on the fence about reading the book, then check out my own poem and book review. [ https://haikuprajna.blogspot.com/2021/12/20211229-review-howls-moving-castle.html ]

Thank you for reading,
Until next time!
Allen W. McLean
