How to Write Haiku in English. And how to do a Pingback.
The Guidelines:
- Take the two words and write a Haiku. I use Haiku in English (the link shows you how) as my style, which is 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third, but you can use what you like.
- The link above has links on how to write Haibun and Tanka. You can also do the 3/5/3 form if you like instead of the 5/7/5 that I usually use. Write, share, and have fun. For syllable help,
- For syllables for each word, and different definitions, you use the definition that works for you Haiku. You can also use SYNONYMS. Go to Thesaurus.com for synonym help.
- Copy the link of your finished haiku URL and paste in a comment below so we can all go and visit your Haiku.
- You can do a pingback. What’s a pingback? Place the URL from the address bar up top from this post as a link within your post. Your inclusion of the link encourages others to try the challenge, be creative, and join a community to find friends and more followers (hopefully). I honestly gain nothing with more people visiting the post. I don’t have ads running that generates revenue by your visit or by clicks on whatever WordPress has put up.
- Click HERE for a detailed post on PINGBACKS.
- If you like, copy the image in this post and place it within their post, just to show the Haiku is part of this challenge.
-
- I am not saying you need or even should, but if you would like to do so then go ahead.
-

Thank you for many years of prompts!

Am I missing something Ron are you leaving us, stopping your challenges. If are or if you’re not thank you for all the wonderful prompts you bring us 💜💜💜

I’m just stopping the Haiku challenge. It’s become more of a job than a joy. The Ovi challenge continues and I’ll probably come up with something new. Just something that I’ll enjoy doing. And thank you for enjoying the prompts. The reason I’ve done this one for so long is, although the participation has decreased, people still joined in. The falling off of writers is my fault. I am just not a conversationalist any longer. I am my elderly mother’s care giver since my father died 2 and a half years ago. I live an hour away from my family now and see them maybe once a month. Nana, we call her, isn’t the most pleasant person and is kind of draining in a lot of ways. So I’m trying to do things that I like.

Pairing “story” with “wane” makes me think of fading memories, and I actually turned an old photo of my grandmother into a keepsake pattern using MakeBead while drafting a haiku about loss. The syllable-checking link is a nice reminder too — 5-7-5 is harder than it looks.

Nice reminder about using thesaurus for haiku—word choice is everything. I often run a clunky draft through HumanizeKit to get a more natural flow before checking syllables again. Story and wane make an interesting pairing.

The thesaurus link is a lifesaver when trying to fit “wane” into 5-7-5 without losing the mood. I usually end up swapping in a shorter synonym, and for collecting everyone’s haiku entries from various doc formats, a tool like ParseJet helps me get the text into one reading list.

This is a really thoughtful take on where AI is heading. I appreciate how you’ve broken down the complexities into something more digestible. The pace of innovation in this space is truly remarkable.

Reaching prompt #500 is a testament to how haiku can keep inspiring fresh takes. The pairing of STORY and Wane feels like a nudge to capture fleeting moments — maybe a story that fades just as it’s told. That syllable counter link is a lifesaver too.
