To mark the Southern Hemisphere Spring Equinox in 2025, we will be offering a new interactive opportunity – a chance to contribute a Haiku Musing and to respond to other poets’ musings. The prompt question for you to muse on is:
What do you find most helpful when writing haiku?
Writing a haiku can involve many considerations, such as where you find inspiration, the kinds of experiences you like to write about, your aims and approach, haiku craft and techniques you employ, and how you go about editing your compositions. You will be invited to share your thoughts on aspects important to your haiku compositional process.
Please keep your Musing succinct, to no more than 250 words.
During the event you will also be invited to respond to other poets’ musings with succinct comments.
This Haiku Musing event will open on Saturday 20th September 2025, Australian time, and close on Sunday 28th September.
Why not start thinking now about what you might like to share with fellow poets? If you’d like to read some more substantial invited musings from our archives, please visit the dedicated category Haiku Musings. We look forward to contributions from haiku poets worldwide.
