Announcing green grass July 2008 Kukai
For the July
2008 Kukai submit one to three HAIKU using the kigo
green grass. The exact word(s) must be used 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.
from the
green grass
laughter of children at play—
a day moon
John
Daleiden, US
To:
kukaieditor@poetrywriting.org
Subject:July08 green grass Kukai
Submissions:
Tuesday,
July 01, 2008 – Sunday, July 20, 2008 Midnight.
Voting:
Monday July 21, 2008 – Sunday, July 27, 2008,
Midnight.
The results will
be published in the Thursday, June 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kukai must be previously unpublished; they must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.

Join the Ginko Walk
Click on
each image for full page view
Hello and
Welcome to my Ginko Walk!
The other day I went outside for a walk and chose some bits
of nature to bring in to scan and present as a Haiga. A
Ginko Walk—A
haiku Walk, where one observes and writes what stirs their
hearts.
Here are my two—one
from my Fig Tree which is now fully ripened with delicious
sweet fruit. This leaf I chose is quite small in comparison
to the rest of them on the tree, and one could fully cover
themselves with leaves of this size, in the Garden of Eden!
You will see in my second Haiga that I brought two friends
into the house and onto the scanner bed with me. What a
surprise that was after I scanned them and then viewed the
results on the computer and saw two little spiders, one
chasing the other one!
The small branch from a berry tree, appears like it is a
full grown tree in the picture. Please do join us and send
in something you find right in your own back yard or
neighborhoods.
