Hello reader,

Another Halloween has come and passed, but who says that means the horrors have to end? Along with November's Theatre calendar, and while the Christmas season begins to creep up on us, we will be updating the Patreon post with what we are watching this month as well.

APRILandALLEN's Theatre - Nov 2023 Schedule

Also, April has a poetry prompt list to go with the Inktober 2023 drawing prompts! I will be participating by writing haiku based on her inks, using her drawing as a poetry prompt before reading her poem, and will share these haiku here and on the HaikuPrajna blog. Read April's poetry, check out her Inktober drawings and find the prompts to write your own poetry at instagram.com/electricarmchair

Our Inktober 2023 will continue through November’s National Novel Writing Month [NaNoWriMo 2023], and will culminate in a collection that we will release as a book; stay tuned, and check out the poems I shared in October on our Patreon for free!

.20231010.

His snout, searching dirt, //

finding one’s buried treasure, //

skeletons and ghosts.

He gives them sweet treats, //

his wheels lured to outstretched hands, //

the sinister trick.

Witches want to play //

with others’ hearts and bodies, //

curses and love spells.

Tuckered-out the Help, //

the tireless wolf-cub scampers //

upright, on two feet.

A deficiency, //

swinging their one severed limb, //

venom to the heart.

A flash of bright light //

and the rising of the dead, //

their return to Earth.

... Lisastein and the Angel

.20231017.

A full haunted house //

is no-match to these experts, //

dread to who infests.

... Demons vs. the Fear-It Spirits

.20231018.

A convention of //

shuffling robes and broomsticks, //

a blind-date meet-up.

... Which Witch is Which?

Chicken Little

Atlantis the Lost Empire

Madagascar franchise

Thanks to you, I am a VERIFIED BOOK AUTHOR and over THREE-THOUSAND (3000!) readers have joined us online; join the growing list of readers at haikuprajna.medium.com/subscribe

I share public book reviews, new book releases and April’s music videos for all subscribed readers!

As we settle into our new Project Roadmap Updates, the APRILandALLEN website will begin to see new features such as comprehensive lists of the projects we have shared, including sections for music, art, books and reviews to provide easier viewing for both our readers and ourselves--as always, I enjoy using these quarterly Updates to refocus my tendencies toward the Source of this habit, which continues to influence how I approach both writing and reading.

...

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--learn about 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.

004 - Scott Pilgrim

I write mindfulness meditation scifaiku and haiku poetry on my book reviews and on previews of my metaphysical stories, such as "Escape Perennial City". Read more at goodreads.com/haikuprajna

Thank you for reading and for submitting to the HaikuPrajna Challenge,

Until next time!
