Dear
Friends,
Welcome
to the Shiki Monthly Kukai!
Our
guest poet this month is Carole MacRury, an award-winning poet and
avid photographer based in Point Roberts, Washington. She is
involved in the arts community on both sides of the U.S./Canadian
border, having acted as one of the organizers and haiku judges for
the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival, and coordinator and workshop
leader of Haiku Garden, which sponsors a series of haiku
workshops for elementary-middle-school classes.
Please
find below the topics for the November 2010 edition.

do NOT enter any haiku previously published, work-shopped or
shared. The haiku entries remain anonymous until results are

IMPORTANT
NOTES:
1)
Address all Kukai correspondence to: st-kukai@haikuworld.org
Note:
we
have been receiving several complaints about not being able to send
through that address. If you do not hear from us within two days'
time, please email directly to George Hawkins at eriegarden@gmail.com or Jennie Townsend at townsend56str@gmail.com
2) PLEASE use the exact subject KIGO
ENTRY or FREE FORMAT ENTRY
for the subject line of each submission.
3) You must send entries in PLAIN TEXT
FORMAT, and SIGNED.
Plain text reduces formatting changes and the inevitable
clarifications required.
4) Please align your poem to the left margin. "Concrete" or
"visual" haiku do not present well in an email format. Plain text,
tied-to-the-left ensures that each haiku may be judged on content.
One line, two, three, even four line haiku are accepted though
final formatting on the web version may change line lengths. We can
denote correct formatting with an (*) explanation.
5) Please send each entry separately.
SIGNATURE REMINDER: The name you use to
sign your haiku will be the name listed when the vote tallies are
revealed and in the archives. Please sign with the name you wish
to be known by. We have several poets with the same first name.
Please help us avoid confusion by not using a common first name as
your only signature.
Further guidelines are available on our website:
