A TUESDAY FEATURE

hosts: Muskaan Ahuja, K.Ramesh

guest editor: Adelaide Shaw

Only the unpublished poems (that are never published on any social media platform/journals/anthologies) posted here for each prompt will be considered for Triveni Haikai India's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 (haiku/senryu) 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 !!

Memorial Day

two Buddy Poppies

in a young girl’s hair           

--- Norma S. Hass

Summer is the time of festivals, bazars, fairs, parades, and celebrations outside. Some celebrations are national, some are local, a single village, a church, a neighborhood. 

Whether it be big or small, write a haiku about a festival that means something to you.
