Poetry Pea brings you all the wisdom of the Indian poet Kala Ramesh who today inspires us with a writing workshop on the cut, or kire in the Japanese Short-form of haiku.  I hope this inspires you to write some wonderful haiku or maybe monoku to submit to us in the not too distant future.

Thank you Kala Ramesh

What we will be looking for in your submissions:

You can send us your haiku or monoku which has either:

a clear cut with no need for punctuation

a clear cut with emphasis created by your punctuation

a monoku in which your reader can create a cut in at least a couple of places. If you can, try and create that circular effect that Kala and Srini achieved

Don’t forget, we hate rejecting work, so… please read our criteria.
