Haiku Author, Country To: kukaieditor@poetrywriting.org Subject: "Spring's end" kukai Submissions: Tuesday, March 01, 2011 – Sunday, April 17, 2011 Midnight. Voting: Monday, April 18, 2011 - Monday, April 25, 2011, Midnight. The results will be published in the Saturday, April 30, 2011 Sketchbook 6-1  Results of the March / April 30, 2011 "Spring's end" 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 From now on (April 1, 2008), Haiku entered in the Sketchbook kukai must be  previously unpublished; they must not be work shopped; they must not appear on any list, forum, group, blog, or in print.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.
