The CU Poetry group is now in collaboration with The News-Gazette to present a weekly haiku in the paper each Sunday. The AHA Poetry website is an excellent guideline source for haiku, tanka, and other Eastern short forms. This page of haiku rules that have come and gone may be particularly helpful.
In 2021, we are inviting you to join us in a special C-U Haiku project by writing on the theme of Hope. Hope is in the air and our goal is the give the readers of C-U Haiku a weekly dose. Tell us: What does hope mean to you? How do you see, hear, feel hope in your life? Your haiku is not required to contain the word hope, though of course it can. Metaphors, synonyms, and poetic descriptions of hope are encouraged.
Submissions may be made to cupoetry@gmail.com with "C-U haiku" in the subject line. Include your name and city, which will be published with your haiku and posted to The News-Gazette website.
Selected haiku will be linked from this page so check back each week.
