Hello readers,

Welcome to the HaikuPrajna Challenge, a new monthly prompt series using the titles of the books that have been reviewed on this blog, which I started in honour of HaikuPrajna’s fourth birthday!

This prompt challenge is just for fun, and I will be resharing submissions 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/2022/05/220530-review-seconds.html ]

Previous prompts also remain available for use.

Submit to the HaikuPrajna Challenge!

Thank you for reading,

Until next time!

Allen W. McLean 

UPDATE 230526

Last night, April and I were at the Transcendent Artists Community's live event in Toronto at the Geary Avenue Warehouse Project! Here's some photos of April drawing at our merch space. I also included pictures of our upcoming Etsy shop's products; polymer clay charms, named "Deforms"!

We had a good night and enjoyed meeting everyone at the event. Thanks to those who came out! More thanks to the Geary Avenue Warehouse Project and the Transcendent Artists Community for the opportunity.
