Nick Virgilio Haiku Association “Haiku in Action” Accepted on a rolling basis

[Seaview (Marion Clarke)]

Haiku in Action Submissions

Haiku in Action is the poetry journal of the Nick Virgilio Haiku Association. We publish haiku and senryu on a weekly basis. Poems that are based off of our weekly prompts have a better chance of getting accepted. We don't believe in finger counting haiku, and encourage poems that are shorter than the traditional 5/7/5 form without having to be associated with nature. We prefer three-lined poems that are less than 17 syllables total. Poems are published weekly and we accept submissions on a rolling basis. We do not send out rejections. If your work is accepted, you will receive a confirmation email and your piece will be published on our site and on social media the next day.

Send us your haiku/senryu poems taken from the news of the week and observations of life. Whether snapshots from marches, quiet moments in quarantine or Zoom meeting frustrations, we want all your short poems anchored in the NOW. The best will be showcased weekly here and on all our social media platforms. ALL ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT. Please submit a MAXIMUM of 3 haiku. Only one haiku per poet will be accepted. Reading closes the Monday of each week, with a posting every Thursday. Please refrain from racist, homophobic, sexist or other hate speech in submissions. The BEST of the best will be compiled into an anthology of haiku published by Nick Virgilio Haiku Association's imprint Upright Remington Press.
