skin pinching coldness
frozen sand tinted with white
low sun strikes flat sea


gentle surf thunders
drowns in a thousand kisses
on compliant sand


northern wind stirs bay
ridged wave crests shudder coldly
occluded heavens


rippled glass effect
foam shards fly as sea collides
opaque wave shatters


salted mist blurs sight
dawn light silhouettes the head
winter wind stirs surf

Tell me here briefly where you heard about the current theme eg Pure Haiku, a Facebook group, someone’s blog post…

I have filled in my details to show you how the email will look. Please make sure you replace my information with your own, including your own haiku!

Please don’t use fancy fonts or bold or italics. I don’t need to know the background to your haiku or your thought process in writing them. There is no need to number the haiku, just leave 2 lines between each one. There’s no need to indent your haiku, just align them to the left hand side of the page. Please don’t send any attachments. Don’t even send me an attachment of the picture on the submit post! Just please send me your haiku as outlined above.

You don’t need to address the email to anyone, but if you feel you want to, please address all emails to Freya, as I am the curator of Pure Haiku.

If you’ve also read HOW TO and SELECTION PROCESS you’ll be in with a good chance of getting published on Pure Haiku!
