We will be holding this Haiku String during the day of the Southern Hemisphere Autumn Equinox, which occurs in Australia this year on Tuesday, 21^st March 2023. The String will remain open for contributions until Thursday, 30^th March 2023, to accommodate international poets who may wish to take part.

The string has now closed. Thanks to all the poets who generously contributed their work to this event.

Please enjoy the haiku!
