Announcing "migrating birds" October 2008 Kukai
The October
2008 Kukai will be any of the following: (migrating
birds--geese migrate, cranes / storks come, shrike,
butcher bird, quail, bullbul, woodpecker, bird of
passage, migratory bird, snipe, longbill, siskin, little
birds):
Oct08kuki@poetrywriting.org Any of the exact word(s)
listed above 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:
Oct08kuki@poetrywriting.org
Subject:"migrating birds" kukai
Submissions:
Wednesday October 01, 2008 – Monday October 20, 2008 Midnight.
Voting:
Tuesday, October 21, 2008 – Monday October 27, 2008,
Midnight.
The results will
be published in the Friday, October 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kukai must be previously unpublished; they must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.
