S8E29 All the colours of butterflies in haiku

Poetry Pea - haiku and other English Language Japanese short forms

🐛🕷️ Creepy Crawlies Have Entered the Chat…

This week on the Poetry Peacast, we’re getting under your skin — in the best possible way — with a fresh collection of haiku and short form poetry inspired by the little creatures that wriggle, buzz, crawl, and fly.

🦋 Featuring poems from Poetry Pea Journals past (and a few haiku legends), this episode explores beauty in the overlooked — from dragonflies to snails to crickets (yes, even cockroaches get a cameo).

💚 Special shout-out to Liam Maguire, whose presentation on insect haiku actually inspired Patricia to write about bugs (gasp!), and to Linda Ludwig, who’s wrapping up her time as editor of our Video Prompt feature. We’ll miss her guiding hand — let’s make her final month unforgettable.

🎧 Tune in now & find out why these “deceptive little poems” are anything but simple. Then, get writing — August's Creepy Crawly submission is open! 📝
