Announcing September / October 2010
"autumn wind" Kukai
The September / October
2010
Kukai theme is
"autumn wind". SeeThe
Haiku Handbook, William J. Higginson, p. 277. Use the exact words
"autumn wind" in the haiku. No more
than a total of three haiku may be submitted. Haiku
submitted to the kukai should not be work shopped, appear
on-line in forums, or in print.
Haiku
Author,
Country
To:
kukaieditor@poetrywriting.org
Subject:
"autumn wind" kukai
Submissions:
Wednesday, September 01, 2010 – Thursday, October 21, 2010 Midnight.
Voting: Friday,
October 22, 2010 - Saturday, October 29, 2010,
Midnight.
The results will
be published in the Sunday, October 31, 2010
Sketchbook 5-5 Results of the
September / October 2010
"autumn wind"
Kukai.
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kukai must be previously unpublished; they must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.
