Announcing May / June 2010 "morning breeze" Kukai
The May / June
2010
Kukai theme is
"morning breeze". Use the exact words
"morning breeze"
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: "morning
breeze" kukai
Submissions:
Friday, May 01, 2010 – Saturday, June 20, 2010 Midnight.
Voting: Sunday,
June 21 - Sunday, June 28, 2010,
Midnight.
The results will
be published in the Tuesday, June 30, 2010
Sketchbook.
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kukai must be previously unpublished; they must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.
A kukai is a peered
review poetry contest. A haiku Topic is assigned by the
editor. An 'anonymized' list of submitted haiku is then
distributed to all participating poets and they are
invited to vote. Votes are returned to the editor who
tallies the votes and publishes the haiku for the
participants, this time with names and points revealed.
