February is National Haiku Writing Month - except it's international -
hosted on facebook, with prompts, by Michael Dylan Welch.

These are my efforts:

Feb. 1: apple

one bite

squirts juice

Feb. 2: boat

moored
three masts

Feb 3: catfish

Thank the Goddess - at last someone who understands it, and says so! It's very disappointing to be so cleverly pornographic and have no-one appear to notice. :-D

it's not pornographic at all (but I would drop "to white")

a possible market: http://www.cleansheets.com/toc.shtml

Yes, you're right. Thank you. Done.

I also think that "like" might work, too

in that market, I found a series of erotic haiku
heck them out

Or, if you want to, I will toss one or two towards you
and we'll see whether we will have a renga
or a series of ku, at least

Tempting! But I am spread so thin just now.

I did check out the link. :) Thank you.

I had already deliberated about 'like' but it changes the meaning a little more than I wish.
