Announcing May / June "Sunflower(s)" 2009 Kukai
The May / June 2009 Kukai theme is
"sunflower(s)"
. Use the exact words
"sunflower(s)"
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:sunflower(s) kukai
Submissions:
Friday, May 01, 2009 – Saturday, June 20, 2009 Midnight.
Voting: Sunday,
June 21 - Sunday, June 28, 2009,
Midnight.
The results will
be published in the Tuesday, June 30, 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kukai must be previously unpublished; they must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.
