Sketchbook SHH Contest 5 ~ Autumn Kigo
Hello Sketchbook Haijin:
A note from Karina Klesko, Editor Announcing the
Sketchbook, SHH Contest 5! Please review the
sample submission at the bottom of this page prior to
submitting your
work. Incomplete submissions will be returned to
the haijin.
For “Showcase Haiku Haijin”, SHH! I will scout out each
Sketchbook Issue for haiku to Showcase.
These haiku will be chosen by rigid standards.
-
the use
of kigo / no double kigo permitted
-
the
citation of kigo from a print or on-line saijiki
-
evocative power
-
transformation by the use of suggestion/not stating
or telling
-
juxtaposition
-
the
feeling of wabi sabi
-
the use
of yugen
I have not set a limit to how many haiku will be
selected for the Showcase Haiku; that will be determined
and vary each issue depending upon the haiku submitted
and / or selected for the issue. While the
Sketchbook Haiku Thread is themed and the Kukai
has a kigo, the Showcase will not be restricted to a
topic. However, each Showcase Haiku must have a kigo /
season word in the season of the publication it is being
submitting. This is only for Haiku, no other genres.
Later we will add Tanka as a separate showcase.
Haijin may send up to five haiku for each bi-monthly
issue: February, April, June, August, October, and
December. Haiku entered in the Showcase (SHH)
must be previously unpublished; they must not be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 next
deadline is 20, October, 2012 for the September /
October, 31, 2012 issue.
Any autumn kigo referenced in an on-line sijiki or a
print sijiki may be selected.

a list of regional Kigo. Other saijiki sources may also
be used (both print and online); just be specific; be
sure to include titles, pages, categories and web
links.

the return of the submission to you.

results of

published in the September / October 31, 2012 issue of
Sketchbook.

will be fun! I look forward to reading your
