Hello reader,

For our eleventh anniversary, April and I had a sleepover with Niagara Falls, played at the Midway arcade and ate some great food! With my birthday a week before Christmas, we get to spread out our celebrations all month long!

APRILandALLEN's Roadmap is an entry in APRILandALLEN’s Project Roadmap, our photo book and video log series where subscribed Patreon readers have access to archives with photos, captions and videos which will be collected in future APRILandALLEN’s books--visit our Patreon to submit to our public poetry prompt and view more free features.

Thank you for reading,

Until next time!

Hello reader,

Welcome to another HaikuPrajna Challenge--a monthly prompt series, which I started in honour of HaikuPrajna’s fourth birthday, that uses the titles of the books reviewed on the blog!

This prompt challenge is just for fun, and I will be resharing submissions; 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

Submit your poem by sharing online with the hashtag; please link to it in the comments or via DM if I miss resharing it!!

Previous prompts also remain available for use.

The HaikuPrajna Challenge is an entry in APRILandALLEN’s Project Roadmap, our photo book and video log series where subscribed Patreon readers have access to archives with photos, captions and videos which will be collected in future APRILandALLEN’s books--join our Patreon at patreon.com/asquaredproductions to submit to our public poetry prompt and view more free features.

If you need inspiration, or if you are on the fence about reading the book, then check out my own poem and book review on the HaikuPrajna blog.
