My Area 17 is regularly updated on the topic of single line haiku aka 'monoku':

Travelling the single line of haiku - one line haiku / monoku / monostich
https://area17.blogspot.com/2016/12/travelling-single-line-of-haiku-one.html

Also coming up next couple of weeks are a continuation of The Area 17 Profile Poet Series with two exceptional exponents of monoku. Stay tuned!  8)

This blog post of Alan Summers is very helpful—and inspirational—if you are considering delving into monostich/monoku/one-line haiku territory.

You are very welcome to the forum, Ismael.

I find online haiku journals to be a great resource because you can see what sort of haiku is currently being published, and also look at the back issues of each journal. There are often insightful essays and articles which are also very informative. If you go to the Journal Announcements section of the forums bayou can click on links to journals (I am trying to keep this updated on a regular basis) that are calling for submissions and have a read at the latest issues.

Hi Marion,

Lots happening behind the scenes with team discussions on various private platforms!

More details will appear over the coming months.

We are not looking for anything that has been done pre-2021. It should be innovative but not gimmicky.

So far haiku, senryu, and tanka are mentioned. But thinking outside the box is ideal even in those regular genres.

Think also of meandering haiku by Robin Anna Smith, and sudo-ku by Kat Lehmann. See how they broke the imagined rules set by poets. <grin>

Links:
https://sonicboomjournal.wixsite.com/sonicboom/grix
and
https://www.humankindjournal.org/humanities/a-sudo-ku-by-kat-lehmann7474527

It displays the link and shift method in haiku that derives from hokku and its renga and renku antecedents, but still remains 'a single haiku'.

Don't copy, or emulate, create something entirely different too! <grin>

You may create something that not only follows the inferred brief but shoots beyond it, and surprises us, that's also what we want, to be stretched and evolve from the imaginative entry.

"...betters...genres by pushing boundaries through the use of innovation, honing, and truth-seeking."

and

A "...Contest [that] offers a new manner of recognition focusing on poems and poets trailblazing — advancing genres in their various forms (including ones perhaps never seen!) for the benefit of all."

and

"will serve as a way to measure not each of us above another poet, but illustrate the ways in which we have grown, morphed, and even re-visited earlier versions of historical landmarks in haikai and tanka history."

"We hope you will all join us on this journey. Your participation is key to its success!"

The date is the entire calendar month of August 2021, so six months or so to create something every different. Keep your 'contest' entry and experimentation under your hat, as a private project.

Continue to check back for more details!

Thank you.

tsuri-dōrō seeks a non-egoist and non-affected approach to the forms of haiku, senryū and related. tsuri-dōrō hopes to share and celebrate the moments present in the everyday and the sublime – be that in the cool of the deep woods or the heat of city streets in August – that we often overlook.
