Assorted due South haiku that I wrote in April for International Haiku Day (April 17) and National Poetry Month. Some -- as noted in my AO3 AN -- are derived from prompts of the dSC6D snipppets comm on DW.

TYK for reading and for the enthusiastic comments!

Japanese poetry forms like haiku and tanka are some of my favorite forms in which to write.

I never write haiku but am impressed by anyone who does!

TYK for giving the reading of them a try even though you don't write them. Me, I love writing poetry in Japanese forms: haiku, tanka, et cetera.
