Haiku Dreaming Australia
Submissions

Anybody may submit any number of haiku/senryu, previously published or unpublished, to Haiku Dreaming Australia whenever and as often as they wish.

Send them, in English only (apologies where applicable) within the body of an email (no attachments) to: Editor Haiku Dreaming . [haikudreaming@fastmail.fm]

Selection will be based on two criteria:
          quality
          relevance

Relevance is to Australian history, landscape, flora, fauna, ethos and customs. I will prefer haiku that capture something of the ethos or character of Australia, and/or indicate its seasons, to those which simply include names of Australian fauna, flora, places, etc. I urge you to look through the site and read the About page before submitting.

Initially the site was stocked with my seed-haiku. They are being progressively replaced by submitted ones. I seek the best haiku available. Any haiku is liable to be removed or displaced by a "better" haiku on the same theme. The quality and scope of the project will increase through selection and competition.

Haiku Dreaming Australia is intended to last forever.

Sections are not fixed. They will be adjusted to accommodate the haiku received and to reflect the relative popularity of different themes. Please do not seek to either fit within, or to avoid, existing sections.

By submitting their haiku, poets affirm they hold copyright to the haiku and grant me the right to display them on this website.
I undertake to remove any haiku if so requested by the author.
