House of Haiku Recap for November 2025
Three lines, no waiting
October recap | September recap | August recap | July recap | June recap | May recap | April recap
Celebrating the 8th month of Chris J. Franklin’s single word (usually) prompts for our haikus. He did a great job of coming up with prompts for November. And since they don’t have Thanksgiving in his country, he focused on other topics. Rather a relief, actually, since here in the U.S. we were flooded with turkey this and pumpkin spice that. This month’s participants came up with some wonderful responses. Such creativity out there! The months ahead should have even more. And please join in.
Prompts in November
A bunch of terrific entries. Take a good look through them.
Never too late to add your own to each of these prompts, and “like” any that really appeal to you.
Prompt: Money (it makes the world go round)
Prompt: Wine (it makes your head spin)
Prompt: Family (they make your life well-rounded—sometimes)
Prompt: Space (endlessly spinning)
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.
