Announcing "hazy moon" February 2009 Kukai

The February 2009 Kukai theme is "hazy moon" . Use the exact words ""hazy moon"  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:"hazy moon" kukai

Submissions: Thursday January 01, 2009 – Tuesday, February 17, 2009 Midnight.

Voting:  Wednesday, February 18, 2009 – Tuesday, February 24, 2009, Midnight.

The results will be published in the Saturday, February 28, 2009 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 From now on (April 1, 2008), Haiku entered in the Sketchbook kukai must be previously unpublished; they must not be workshopped; they must not appear on any list, forum, group, blog, or in print.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.
