Issue 57 is ‘finally’ UP!!!
Well, here it is finally a great collection of short haibun for your reading pleasure!!!
A ONE DAY delay for FH!
Just to let you know that the last five days have been hectic for me personally. And to add to the pain my Internet can barely download Gmail anymore.
I will try to get selection notices out to everyone, but formatting will have to wait until tomorrow when I can get to somewhere where I have a good connection.
My apologies, this has just been a week filled with hurdles that I have not been able to clear.
Peace
Mike
SEPTEMBER ISSUE GUIDELINES!
Folks,
PLEASE SEND YOUR SUBMISSIONS BETWEEN THE 10TH AND THE 25TH OF AUGUST!
The September 1 issue will have this format:
SHORT HAIBUN! THE ‘PROSE POEM’ SHOULD BE NO LONGER THAN 50 WORDS (PLUS OR MINUS A FEW I WILL NOT BE HARSH. Two haibun limit.
I am STILL struggling with poor Internet although there is a new provider installing a new system as I type. Also, this month requires two more ‘brief’ hospital trips. I am collecting pictures of my insides for a scrapbook!!! I am stable right now, and still smiling. It has been a wonderful summer for us this year, enjoying visits from friends (socially distanced) and we are both doing well. That said, I will be offline a few times so get your work in early if you can, but no penalty will be assessed to late submissions, as usual.
Peace and good health to you all!!
Mike
Issue 56 is UP!
In the this crazy moment in time we live in it is good to remember our friends. To all of you who contribute to Failed Haiku, some of you right from the first issue, THANK YOU. This issue was a lifesaver for me. I needed to read poems by people who are not only coping but writing some very touching and savvy poetry during a pandemic. You are my greatest inspiration!
This issue is almost 200 pages of poetry. I truly think that ‘isolation’ has been a poetic spur in the side for many of you. Please take the time to read it through. Your fellow poets will inspire you too.
