#69/100 Days of Summer
August 2012 NaHaiWriMo
August was a great month for the NaHaiWriMo community. Every day, each single day of the month, a different haiku poet offered a prompt. Wonderful haiku were written, and shared, and the month whizzed by before we knew it. Well, before I knew it. But we have the poems; and the prompts.
The list of the thirty one prompts for the month of August can be found by clicking here
For the poems, alas, you have to go back to the Facebook timeline…Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an easier way?
