Better than Ice Cream
NaHaiWriMo gets me writing every day. Johnny Baranski, Vancouver, Washington
NaHaiWriMo is an endless inspiration! Kashinath Karmakar, Durgapur, India
Tis is why I love NaHaiWriMo: challenge, inspira-
tion, community, opportunity, learning, sharing . . . Stella Pierides, Neus, Germany
Is haiku better than ice cream? Many participants inNational Haiku Writing Month probably think so. Tis
poetic eeding renzy happens every Februarythe short-est month or the shortest genre o poetryand attractsthousands o people who try writing one haiku each day
or the entire month. February may be the shortest montho the year, but maintaining a daily haiku-writing disciplineor this length o time is harder than it seems. And on Face-book, where National Haiku Writing Month is known as
NaHaiWriMo, daily writing isnt limited just to February.Writing prompts encourage more than a thousand ans towrite haiku each day o every month, all year long. A di-erent guest prompter provides the prompts or an entiremonth, supporting and inspiring a growing community ohaiku poets around the world. With all this enthusiasmand the flavors represented, haiku must be better than ice
creamand maybe NaHaiWriMo is too. As rewarding as it has been or me to work with vari-ous poets to scoop out daily prompts and post them on theFacebook page, in August o 2012 I wanted to try some-thing different, and youre now reading the results. Insteado having one person supply writing prompts or the entiremonth, I thought Id ask 31 different people to provide one
prompt each, which I then posted to the NaHaiWriMo
Facebook pagea different flavor each day, whetherFrench vanilla, pistachio, or pralines and cream, so tospeak. Participants not only had the pleasure o discoveringeach resh prompt, but o learning who each prompter was,

and it motivated a great increase in participation and dis-cussion, at one point with a reach o nearly 17,000 people. But there was more to the plan. I also asked each daily
prompter to monitor all the poems posted on Facebook inresponse to his or her prompt, and to choose at least fiveavorite poems to send to me or an online-only book, aorm o publication thats been a growing trend in haiku
publishing. Some prompters sent just five poems exactly,occasionally with the addition o their own poem on thetheme o the day. Others sent me dozens o selections. It
was then my job to make final choices or this book, start-
ing with the poems that each daily prompter chose tobegin with. Ive sought to balance poetic quality with arepresentation o as many participants as possible, whilealso showing variety and range in the ways poets respondedto each daily writing prompt. Te prompts, o course, were
wonderully varied in themselves, but the flavors o haikuthey produced greatly exceeded my expectations. Even so,a hundred scoops certainly isnt enough.
In its first two years, NaHaiWriMo has become aninviting and energizing community, a sharing space orboth poems and poets. Perhaps its not too different roma corner ice cream shop, although a lot bigger, where a
community enjoys hanging out together. NaHaiWriMocertainly has that celebratory mood that we so ofen as-sociate with ice creamand at NaHaiWriMo, every day isa special occasion worth celebrating. Tis collection by 79contributors o 31 writing prompts and 190 haiku and sen-ryu, all posted to the NaHaiWriMo page on Facebook inAugust 2012, is a taste o 31 flavors o haiku rom aroundthe worldwith cherries on top. My thanks to each o thedaily prompters, to all monthly prompters in prior months,and o course to all the poets or sharing their haiku andthe flavors o their lives. As participant Merrill Gonzalez
once commented, NaHaiWriMo is like a conversationamong riends. Welcome to the ice cream shop, and wel-come to the conversation.
