PURE HAIKU is OPEN to submissions on the theme of TRANSLUCENT.
You are not allowed to use the word Translucent or Translucence 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 Translucent.
The OED defines the verb TRANSLUCENT as “allowing light, but not detailed shapes, to pass through; semi-transparent.” Further definitions can be found at Oxford Dictionaries.
Delight me and surprise me with your haiku that paint vivid pictures of TRANSLUCENCE. Don’t be obvious, seek for subtlety. I want to read lots of aha moments!
There will be 35 slots for individual haiku plus space for up to 5 days for a single featured haiku writer.
The DEADLINE for submissions is 24th January 2020 at midnight.
TRANSLUCENT themed haiku written in English in the traditional/classical form (5-7-5 syllables) will be posted on this site between April and June 2020.
