Feel free to download the image and write #haiku or #senryu on it and tag me me or @coffeeandhaiku.bsky.social. There are other bird photos I've been posting in @coffeeandhaiku.bsky.social account that have enough white space for putting haiku, so feel free to use any 🙂

A random #HaikuSeed prompt - this artwork. The journal is still in hiatus, so no curation from my side. But I will read and repost the #haiku I like:) Please use #HaikuSeed in your posts that are written for the prompt so readers and fellow poets can find them easily. - @coffeeandhaiku.bsky.social
A minimal sketch artwork that is mainly in black and white with a red sun. A silhouette with an umbrella out on his shoulder is walking in a puddle of water, ripples showing the falling rain. The rain is falling in a slant, left to the right, so the silhouetted person is resting their umbrella on the shoulder. A frog is in mid-leap off the umbrella onto the path of the silhouetted person and the frog is backlit by a red sun which is the only color in this artwork besides black and white. The rain is shown to be only falling in a relatively narrow column, so there is some unrealistic nature to the scene. The frog jumping off of the umbrella of a walking person too is unrealistic. But it's monsoon! Boots and frogs croaking along the waterlogged roads.

I keep thinking about what we were able to do in 2022, with the inaugural issue & the contributions & the lead up to the issue through weekly prompts in 2021. The journal is still on hiatus, I'm unable to find time & energy to resume it. But I follow the wonderful community of haikai poets :)

I'm putting together a starter pack with journals, publications and resources that are related to haikai forms. Hopefully more journals join BlueSky as time passes. go.bsky.app/7krEkBJ #haiku #senryu #haiga #poetry
