Announcing __frog(s) August 2008 Kukai
For the August
2008 Kukai submit one to three HAIKU using the kigo
green frog(s) /rain frog(s), tree frog(s) / toad. 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.
Haiku
Author,
Country
To:
kukaieditor@poetrywriting.org
Subject:Aug08 frogs Kukai
Submissions:
Friday,
August 01, 2008 – Wednesday, August 20, 2008 Midnight.
Voting:
Thursday August 21, 2008 – Wednesday, August 27, 2008,
Midnight.
The results will
be published in the Sunday, August 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kukai must be previously unpublished; they must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.
