Haiku Writing Month, also known as NaHaiWriMo, is celebrated every February and encourages participants to write at least one haiku each day throughout the month. Founded by Michael Dylan Welch, this event promotes creativity and community among haiku enthusiasts worldwide. Typical customs include writing daily haikus, hosting haiku-themed parties, creating haiku art, and joining online communities to share poems and receive feedback. Participants often follow daily prompts provided by guest prompters, fostering a supportive environment for both beginners and experienced poets. The event aims to inspire individuals to observe the world closely and express their thoughts concisely through this traditional Japanese poetry form.
