Haiku String – Instructions
AHS invites you to share with us your original haiku on the theme of Discovery. We invite you to explore a multiplicity of ideas in the String without using the word ‘discovery’.
The haiku will be linked by the subject Discovery. It is not necessary for each haiku to relate to the one before it.
- Please contribute up to three of your best haiku.
- Haiku should be posted in the comment box at the end of the post.
- Haiku posted must be original work by the poet making the post. Please include your name below each haiku as you wish it to appear.
Posting your work in the AHS Spring Equinox Haiku String 2019 assumes the following:
Copyright of each haiku remains with the author. We request nonexclusive permission to publish your work on AHS website and to republish it in any future online collections on the AHS website.
