Please note:
Only the unpublished poems (that are never published on any social media platform/journals/anthologies) posted here for each prompt will be considered for Triveni Haikai India's monthly journal -- haikuKATHA, each month.
Poets are requested to post poems that adhere to the prompts/exercises given.
Only 1 poem to be posted in 24 hours. Total 2 poems per poet are allowed each week (numbered 1,2). So, revise your poems till 'words obey your call'.
If a poet wants feedback, then the poet must mention 'feedback welcome' below each poem that is being posted.
Responses are usually a mixture of grain and chaff. The poet has to be discerning about what to take for the final version of the poem or the unedited version will be picked up for the journal.
The final version should be on top of the original version for selection.
Poetry is a serious business. Give you best attempt to feature in haikuKATHA !!

Have you ever wondered what life would be without humour? How long can we live without laughing our hearts out and will life be worth living if we don't have lighter moments in it.
To reiterate an Edward Hubbard marvel - “Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.”
The following haiku by Lev Hart made me chuckle and that’s how I want to end this month’s writeALONG -- with a hearty laugh. Will you help me do that by penning down some humorous ku?
I don’t trust her
my mother-in-law
