Dear Members,
It has been another prosperous year for Australian haiku and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all poets for their poetry, company, comradeship and countless other contributions throughout the year.

Submissions are welcomed by poets who are Australian by nationality or who currently reside here. See the previous post for further details and a link to the submission form.
