start your #haiku engines... these journals reopen for submissions at the start of the new year: - #FemkuMag - Acorn - contemporary haibun online - dadakuku - first frost - Haiku Zoo - Poetry Pea - The Haibun Journal - Triya - tsuri-dōrō - whiptail

Feel free to download the image and write #haiku or #senryu on it and tag me me or @coffeeandhaiku.bsky.social. There are other bird photos I've been posting in @coffeeandhaiku.bsky.social account that have enough white space for putting haiku, so feel free to use any 🙂

A random #HaikuSeed prompt - this artwork. The journal is still in hiatus, so no curation from my side. But I will read and repost the #haiku I like:) Please use #HaikuSeed in your posts that are written for the prompt so readers and fellow poets can find them easily. - @coffeeandhaiku.bsky.social

Dear haijin, these wonderful frog artworks make me want to read some frog #haiku. .薄緑やどさり居て鳴く蛙 usumidori ya dosari suwatte naku kawazu pale green sitting down with a thump... croaking frog Kobayashi Issa translated by David G. Lanoue #HaikuSeedPrompt (not curating, just to engage poets)

I keep thinking about what we were able to do in 2022, with the inaugural issue & the contributions & the lead up to the issue through weekly prompts in 2021. The journal is still on hiatus, I'm unable to find time & energy to resume it. But I follow the wonderful community of haikai poets :)

I'm putting together a starter pack with journals, publications and resources that are related to haikai forms. Hopefully more journals join BlueSky as time passes. go.bsky.app/7krEkBJ #haiku #senryu #haiga #poetry
