Congratulations!
Honestly shocked to learn that my little spring haiku--tappe into the comments section of an IG post while waiting for my kid--was chosen as one of the winning poems in the @haikuists latest Haiku Feud on #nationalhaikuday! Here's a Godzilla Haiku, along with mine, to celebrate🤗

Here's your cue to write a haiku. And an optional prompt: write about a memory that's showed up for you unexpectedly out of the blue. This makes for a good turning point around the 2nd/3rd line.

Here's a haiku in honor of Typewriter Day!

PROMPT: write a haiku based on the opening scene of your day.

Who are we? (+ for the answer key)
We've written *quite* a few haiku in our near-decade in business. In fact, we did the math. Our haikuists have likely written over A MILLION haiku collectively. Kudos to our haikuists and their serious skills! Let's see what we do in the next decade.
