I’m not sure if writing haiku and meeting deadlines sit well together, but a few competitions close tomorrow: Presence’s ‘Martin Lucas Haiku Award’, The British Haiku Society Awards (3 separate awards – haiku, haibun and tanka) and the Snapshot Press Haiku Calendar competition. Needless to say, I’m at the last push up. I’d hoped to get a submission together for the BHS competition, and I have in a way, except that having reread it earlier this evening, there might be a couple of last minute substitutions. So, I’m off to have another look at it now (knowing full well it’s not a good idea to tinker with these things at the last minute)!
