Hey everyone! I'm EJ, u/SelectionOk8111, creator of r/HaikuStew.

**Our First Haiku Round posts at 12:00 UTC on October 7*\*

I created this sub as a home for a daily haiku game that the community writes together, one line at a time:

one line, then the next,
strangers stir a pot of words,
a co-creation.

How a day works

Every day the app makes one post. Open it and tap Open today's haiku.

• Round 1: the first line (5 syllables)
• Round 2: the middle line (7)
• Round 3: the last line (5)

In each round you can do each or both: write one line and/or vote for one line that isn't yours.

The most-voted line wins when the round is over, and the finished poem is posted as a comment on that day's post! Full details are on the wiki.

Round 1 opens at 12:00 UTC every day, which is 5am Pacific / 8am Eastern while US clocks are on daylight time.

What to do here

• Have fun!
• Co-create!
• Play each day's post: write a line, vote for a line, or both
• Comment on the daily post. Read the finished haiku, tell the author what you liked!
• This subreddit has one post a day, automatically posted by the app, so there is nowhere to start your own thread. Everything happens in the daily post and its comments.

Community vibe

Friendly, a little silly, and collaborative.
