Thank you for your contributions to the AHS Spring Equinox Haiku String 2020 on ‘Early Spring’. The String is now closed for contributions, but please enjoy the haiku in the String. Contributors have come from Australia and many other countries, which is reflected in the diverse range of haiku.
The Australian Haiku Society welcomes contributions from haiku poets worldwide to the AHS Spring Equinox Haiku String 2020.
We will be holding a Haiku String during the day of the Southern Hemisphere Spring Equinox, which occurs in Australia on Tuesday, 22rd September 2020. The String will remain open for contributions until Friday 25th September to accommodate international poets who may wish to take part. Contributions may be made on the website during these dates (not before).

- Please contribute up to three of your best haiku or senryu.
- Haiku should be posted in the comment box at the end of the post. Click on the header to go to the full post and find the comment box.

* soft sunlight
on the windowpane
kaleidoscope of memories
* fluffy clouds and breezy pond
letting daffodils
love their reflection
* rusty watering can
remains still
beside blooming gerberas
