Announcing "old
diary" November 2008 Kukai
The November
2008 Kukai theme is "old diary". Use the exact words
"old diary" in the haiku.
No more than a total of three haiku may be submitted.
Haiku submitted to the kukai should not be workshopped,
appear on-line in forums, or in print.
Haiku
Author,
Country
To:
Nov08kukai@poetrywriting.org
Subject:"old diary" kukai
Submissions:
Saturday November 01, 2008 – Thursday, November 20, 2008 Midnight.
Voting:
Friday, November 21, 2008 – Thursday, November 27, 2008,
Midnight.
The results will
be published in the Sunday, November 30, 2008
Sketchbook.
Recent letters to the
Sketchbook editors and discussions on
various forums indicate that some assumptions about a
kukai must be spelled out. From now on (April 1, 2008),
Haiku entered in the Sketchbook
kukai must be previously unpublished; they must
not be workshopped; they must not appear on any list,
forum, group, blog, or in print. In short, if the haiku
has appeared on the internet or in print we consider it
to have been published. The voting in a kukai is
anonymous and publication anywhere voids anonyminity.
Any haiku found to be previously published will be
disqualified.
