Pure Haiku is currently OPEN to Submissions.
The THEME is DISINTEGRATE.
This time, you are not allowed to use the word Disintegrate in your haiku/senyru (and you cannot use this word in the title, if you choose to provide titles for your submissions). I want to receive haiku/senyru that are implicit in their mentions of DISINTEGRATE.
The OED defines the verb DISINTEGRATE as “To break up into small parts as the result of impact or decay.” Further definitions can be found at Oxford Dictionaries.
Delight me and surprise me with your haiku that paint vivid pictures of DISINTEGRATE. Search deep for meaning and definition. Don’t be obvious, be intriguing! Make the reader puzzle and delight in a sudden ah-ha moment! As always I’m looking for excellent use of language and words that conjure up clear, vivid pictures; show, don’t tell.
There will be 28 slots for individual haiku plus space for up to 5 days for a single featured haiku writer.
The DEADLINE for submissions is 20th September 2019 at midnight.
DISINTEGRATE themed haiku written in English in the traditional/classical form (5-7-5 syllables) will be posted on this site between October & December 2019.
How to submit to Purehaiku
If you would like to submit your haiku for publication on this site, please send a maximum of 5 haiku written in the classical form on the current theme to: –
purehaiku (at) gmail (dot) com
with SUBMISSIONS, the current THEME and your NAME in the subject line.
Please include the following in the body of the email: –
Your first name
Your last name

Your haiku (all 5 in one email please) (they do not have to be titled)
The full address of your blog or website if you have one (only one site per submission please)
The name you want to appear on the copyright
One sentence introducing yourself. Be quirky and interesting – you want people to visit your blog, don’t you?!
(Even if you have had haiku published on this site before, please still include all this information as I do not keep any details of previous submissions. By including all the required details it makes my life easier when scheduling haiku. Thank you.)
By submitting your haiku you confirm that you are the author of the work and that you give me permission to publish your work at Pure Haiku. You are also giving me permission to publish your haiku on facebook, mewe and twitter and any other social media sites that I deem fit once it has appeared here. The copyright remains with you, the author.
Please send me each haiku with just one or two lines of spacing between each one in the body of your email.
When you have emailed your submission, you should receive an auto reply informing you of the date when I will be in contact with you. If you do not receive an auto reply within 24 hours, please feel free to send a second email enquiring about your original submission.
I can only accept haiku for consideration if they are EMAILED to me at the above mentioned address. Please DO NOT submit haiku via the comments box or via a facebook message or via G+ messaging etc.
Please do not send attachments. I can only accept haiku that are submitted in the body of the email.

I’m planning on opening Pure Haiku again to submissions in September 2019. The submission windows lasts for 3 weeks. If you’d like to be informed as soon as PH is open to submissions, please sign up to receive regular updates at the right hand side! xxx
I have now bookmarked this page/site. And have a weekly planner for the new year where I have noted when the new prompt will be up. Hopefully this will help me to remember.
