We hope to celebrate, through the haiku/senryu collected on this website, the diversity of lifestyles, values, characters, customs, cultures, and historical experiences of the people inhabiting Australia, as well as the diversity of our landscapes, flora, and fauna. Please explore our categories for inspiration. If you choose a seasonal reference, it should be compatible with the publication’s Summer or Autumn timeframe.
