Discover the inspiration of haiku, senryū and short form poetry with the Poetry Peacast, your podcast for haiku, senryu and Japanese short-form poetry.

In this episode, we share poems curated by Arvinder Kaur, with a special thank you to her daughter, Simatra Singh, for providing the video inspiration. Enjoy the creativity of our poetry community and discover how a visual prompt can spark new ideas for your own writing.

The final Poetry Pea Video Prompt of the year is now available on YouTube! Watch the video and submit your poems in the comments beneath the video to take part. Please note that submissions must be posted in the YouTube comments; emailed poems cannot be accepted.

Have a video that could inspire a haiku? Patricia would love to hear from you. Videos should be around 25 seconds long and filmed in landscape mode.

We're also planning the Poetry Pea podcast agenda for next year. Tell us which poetry forms, poets or writing techniques you'd like to explore. And if you've published a poetry book you'd like Patricia to read from and review on the podcast, get in touch and send her a copy.

Enjoy listening, find inspiration for your own writing, and join our welcoming community of haiku and short-form poetry lovers.

Support Poetry Pea through membership, a donation or by sharing the podcast with fellow poetry enthusiasts. Find links and further information in the show notes.

Keep writing, and Ciao!
