Announcing the
March / April 30, 2012 "swing" Kukai
The
March / April 30, 2012 Kukai is
"swing"
(furakoko). See The
Haiku Handbook, William J. Higginson, p. 269. Use the exact words
"swing(s)" 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

kukaieditor@poetrywriting.org

"swing" kukai
Submissions:
Thursday, March 01, 2012 – Thursday April 19, 2012 Midnight.
Voting:
Friday, April 20, 2012 - Friday, April 27, 2012 Midnight.
The results will
be published in the Monday, April 30, 2012
Sketchbook 7-2 "swing" Kukai results.
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kukai must be previously unpublished; they must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.
