! The Haiku Challenge !

Dear Special Blogging Friends,

As February being the month of love, I decided myself to express my love for Haiku. After penning down more than half a century of Haikus, the love for it has become immeasurable and made me throw a Challenge to myself, ‘The Haiku Challenge!’ If you ask me what is this Haiku Challenge, then I would say it is simply writing a Haiku a day, beginning February 1 and to carry on until February 28.


28 days – 28 Haikus - Wow! That sounds great right.

Seeing the Success of Leo’s Z-A Challenge, Nimue’s Month of the Year Challenge, Riika’s Wishes Challenge, I love to throw this Challenge to everyone, any blogger interested to take part in the challenge to try his or her hand at it. They can share their links as a comment in the corresponding Haiku posts and read other participating bloggers too. If anyone loves to take part in this challenge then do leave a comment under this post here. I will design a Badge as well to display in your blog post.

If it is a Challenge, then there should be a theme for us to Challenge as well. As the love for ‘HAIKU’ made me to throw the Challenge, the theme also being the POET’s ‘LOVE’ for words (14 – Feb 1, 3, 5, 7…) and images (14 – Feb 2, 4, 6, 8…) prompted by me. Just use the words as the theme or as a part of your Haiku or a Haiku inspired by the image based on the prompt. I will display the list of words and images in my next update.


The Haiku Challenge! The King and Queen of Haikus !

The game is on !
