Wire Haiku

a raven appears
in the edges of my vellum —
evening inspiration

Hello and welcome to the next themed month of Wire Haiku. Last month’s theme was Basics: establishing the core of haiku and helping me establish some semblance of structure in my work. Now that I’ve done that, I think it’s time to have some fun with and get a little weirdness in the mix.

For the month of November 2022, our theme is Nights: haiku all about moonlight, lamplight, quiet streets, screaming cicadas; all the wonderful little things that happen in a city when the sun goes down.

I’m not going to lie, this theme is mostly inspired by the amazing show What We Do in the Shadows and my obsession with it, but I also just really enjoy the night as a context to play around in. It has so much built-in material to work with, I just can’t wait.

So, that’s the theme for this month. Thank you so much for reading Wire Haiku, and I hope you enjoy what’s to come.
