House of Haiku Recap for July 2025
Three lines, no waiting
See the June recap | See the May recap | See the April recap
Fabulous haikus thanks to Chris J. Franklin’s prompts. Funny how a simple word can evoke feelings and memories.
Prompts in July
We had five this month and some great responses. Take a good look through them. Happy to say there were quite a few participants.
Prompt: Airport
Prompt: Swimming
Prompt: Moon
Prompt: Ice Cream
Prompt: Book
Never too late to add your own to each of these prompts, and “like” any that really appeal to you.
Final Note
A great thing on Substack is NOT earning money from it but the camaraderie that grows here. These haiku prompts are an example. People come together, post their three-line poems, read other contributions, and generally have a bit of fun. Hope you’ll join in.
Please check out my author website. And thanks for reading.

Thanks Chris for the opportunity to play
With you and the gang!
I wonder how I missed these prompts. I have been writing a haiku a day all of July. Do let me know if there are prompts for August. Thanks
