This morning when I wrote about various writing prompts being offered today &/or this month, I forgot an important one. The Haiku Foundation is doing a Kukai, or informal haiku poetry contest where poets submit on a particular theme.
If you’re a writer of haiku, you can check out the rules and submit poems HERE
And now, since it’s National Poetry Month in the US, I’ll participate with one of my own verses, a senryu:
she smiled
but would not tell us why
burning cinders
