| Sorry for the delay! As I say in the announcement, it will be accepted only original haiku poems, which were not published in newspapers or journals, author volumes or in any other forms up to the date of the competition. If you sent a haiku published on agonia net, anybody can read your haiku so we can know the author. The haiku must have 5-7-5 syllables, but first of all must be a haiku. For other kind of information you can ask at the following e-mail addresses: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. Best of luck getting your work! | |
