Desk haiku

Interesting article on the Haiku Foundation blog about desk haiku (desk-ku) or haiku written at your desk as opposed to real life.

Baby panda origami

 

Here’s how I spend my time while I’m waiting for NaHaiWriMo to begin: I’m making origami cards. The Baby Panda is my favorite model. The head comes from one origami book and the body comes from another.  It’s a Mix and Match origami panda.

 

Origami panda

Origami panda made with two squares of black and white paper (one for the head and one for the body).

(I love making origami, it relaxes me.)

Get on board for an exciting trip. Destination HAIGA. Donna, Al and Anita Virgil have packed classical and contemporary haiku, senryu and tanka with striking visual accompaniments — many with a twist.

Haikupons, from Target

Target stores printed a coupon book featuring (pseudo) haiku.
Check out this post about haikupons (or haiku coupons) written by Haiku by Two.

NaHaiWriMo 2012

 

NaHaiWriMo (National Haiku Writing Month) is the challenge created by Michael Dylan Welch in which participants must write one haiku a day for a month (luckily, he chose the shortest month of the year).

The official NaHaiWriMo event will take place from February 1-29 2012 on Facebook.

Post your haiku on the NaHaiWriMo Facebook page (sign in to Facebook for a free account) or write a haiku a day for amonth on your blog or in your notebooks for your own pleasure (but it’s more fun on Facebook since you’ll receive lots of comments from other participants and be part of the community).

Will you join us in February?
