Announcing
"winter night"
December 2008 Kukai
The December 2008 Kukai theme is
"winter night". Use the exact words "winter
night" 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:
kukaieditor@poetrywriting.org
Subject:"winter night" kukai
Submissions:
Monday December 01, 2008 Saturday, December 20, 2008 Midnight.
Voting:
Sunday, December 21, 2008 Saturday, December 27, 2008,
Midnight.
The results will
be published in the Wednesday, December 31, 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kukai must be previously unpublished; they must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.
