Inspiration for haiku comes from the seasons, reading, conversations, or other experiences. But don't write about your emotions. Instead, write about what caused your emotions. That makes all the difference.

simultaneous submissions. And please wait for at least three months for another new submission. Deadline: December 16, 2016.

Please note that only those whose haiku are selected for publication will be notified within three weeks, and that

no other notification will be sent out, so your works are automatically freed up after three weeks to submit elsewhere.

The accepted haiku will be translated into Chinese and posted on NeverEnding Story and Twitter. The best 66 haiku will be included in the anthology, and the poet whose poem is chosen as the best haiku of the year will be given a 3-page space to feature the haiku of his/her choice.

Each poet in the anthology will receive a copy of the ebook edition.

A haiku or a tanka without "rhetoric" was likely to be no more than a brief observation without poetic tension or illumination.
