  Ken,

  If you like you can check out Poetry Train being run each Monday. It has no prompt as such but poetry is encouraged, haiku included. Do check it out. This would give you wider audience. There are others too. You can explore from my blogroll.

  Or – Trust your brain, but tie yourself to God first.
