The poems you post will also be considered for the haikuKATHA Monthly Journal each month.
Due to a sudden increase in activity, here are some quick guidelines, for HAIKUsutradhar:
1. From September 2022 onwards only 3 haiku (numbered 1, 2 & 3) per week/per prompt are to be posted on HAIKUsutradhar. 2. Please do not post two poems in one day /24 hours ... just one and in total only 3 poems per week from Friday to Friday.
2. For each poem you share, please comment on ONE other poem which isn't yours!
3. Post only your unpublished, original poems.
4. If poets have NOT ASKED for FEEDBACK, please don't give.
....................................................................................................................................
Post your best haiku and let's have each issue with your best work.
Poems previously published on your webpage or social media will be accepted.
Poems previously published in peer-reviewed or edited journals or anthologies and contest winners that were published elsewhere will not be accepted.
4. IMPORTANT: if any member provides feedback on the poem in the comment section, the poet must decide on the final version and post it on top of the original version.
Or else the original unedited version on your thread will be picked up by us.
On your comment thread, you need to post your revised final version (if you have one!)
Edited version: Your final version of the poem goes first, so it will be easy for our team to consider that for the haikuKATHA journal.
Original version: Your first version of the poem remains - under your final version. The way it is shown here.

The Prompt
One last audio prompt! for your muse! An interesting Egyptian music. It will be fun to travel the desert with this intriguing melody.
I love listening to music and hence I enjoyed exploring different music for the prompt. I hope you enjoyed all the musical pieces so far. Happy Haiku_ing!
