Issue 40 will be out on April 5th
Folks, no worries, but I am a little messed up lately physically. The weather changes have caught up with several of the injuries I suffered in my youth. Both knees and both my ankles have acted up at the same time. All have suffered trauma in the past. Add to that my right wrist and fingers (you figure that out), and I am a bit cranky. I don’t do pain killers ever, but I am using some good homeopathic remedies and starting to feel better.
I am glad that many of you enjoyed the video for April Fool’s Day, but I want to be clear that STEVE HODGE wrote the script, put together the video, and conceived the entire ‘plot’. Steve does many things in the background of haiku, and I wanted to be sure that he is recognized for all that he does. BUT, the award for deadpan delivery goes to Terri L. French for almost convincing me that BOTH Frogpond and Modern Haiku would publish her essay on Celeste! I love these two!
Also, I have started a YouTube Channel for Failed Haiku. We will be posting podcasts, interviews, and if you click the ‘Channels’ tab you will find many other great haiku channels. Also, we will feature readings from work published in Failed Haiku. Take a minute, look around, and please consider SUBSCRIBING to our Channel, AND some of the other haiku channels as well. You won’t be spammed or notified unless you choose to, so no worries in that way. Also, I never advertise or sell space or try to monetize anything I do. No worries, my intent is simply to promote senryu on the Internet.
THE MAY ISSUE WILL BE EDITED BY A ‘GUEST’ EDITOR. SO HOLD YOUR SUBMISSIONS UNTIL YOU GET THE EMAIL ON THE 10TH AND PLEASE CHECK THE Submission Guides Link on the site every month.
Thanks to all you who continue to support Failed Haiku, and for your kindness to me personally.
Peace
Mike
The Passing of a truly wonderful poet…
The passing of a humble haiku poet who worked in anonymity to further the reputations of others. Make to sure to listen to the very end for a touching tribute!

NO SUBMISSION FOR THE APRIL ISSUE, IT WILL BE A RETROSPECTIVE ISSUE!
And the delay continues…
Simply put I am limited to intermittent Internet and a cell phone. You can “Like” a post on Facebook with that connectivity, but editing a haiku journal does not go so well. I am 25 miles from the nearest Library and needless to say they ain’t open on Sundays anyway and we just dug out of two snowstorms. That said my wife and our cat are warm safe and happy. Look for Tuesday to see issue 39!
That out of the way the new Issue of Prune Juice Journal is out and the new editor, Brent Goodman, knocked it out of the park as we all expected. My buddy Steve Hodge handed the torch off and the PJ flames are burning brightly!
Go visit PJ and that should keep you busy until I get the issue of FH out!
Delay in Publishing!
Sorry folks, but a surprise snowstorm and in and out Internet have finally caught up with me! After 38 on time issues, this one will be a day or two late. I am not dug out and have spotty Internet but should have it out by the 2nd of March at the latest. Apologies, but this entire effort is done in the cloud and I don’t want to take short cuts that mess up the final result.
See ya soon with Issue 39!!!
Issue 38 is now UP!!!
One more in the vault!!! Take a look at a great batch of senryu!

Full Submissions Issue Get them in while they are HOT!
This will be a full issue with a retrospective as well. Get your submissions in I am in the ‘mood’ to read some senryu. Give me your best, and remember I am fine with previously published work.
Peace

Three years and still counting!!!
Issue 36 is a milestone in many ways. I never expected to get this far. 24 issues of ShortStuff 17 years ago, and now Failed Haiku Issue 36. About a dozen other publications too in between, so although I may not be famous for my own poems I hope that I get some credit for promoting the poems of others. I want to thank every poet who has submitted their work to me. I hope I have lived up to your expectations. I have enjoyed reading the work of so many fine poets, and it is humbling to think you would trust me with your poems. THANKS!!!
This issue has some surprises like they all do, there are a couple of dozen ‘stunners’ in this one. I hope you enjoy it as much I did putting it together for you.

Next month will be a RETROSPECTIVE ISSUE, so hold your submissions for now. My Internet still sucks, and hope is that by this time next year we will have the issues solved with a new system. I will do a much better job of letting people know what is happening this year. But I will still have to leave the house to do much of the work on the site.
Peace
