It’s a little late to relate the Hallowe’en tanka but still cute. It comes via M Kei from Sounds from the Unknown edited by Tomoe Tana and Lucille Nixon,

At Hallowe’en

The baby goblin

Looking so happy,

Whispered from under the mask,

“This is me.”


~Totaro Matsui

Further on the site, something more timely. A call,
SUBMISSION CALL : NOCTURNE 
Closing Date: December 10th 2007

From January 2008, it’s lights out at 3LIGHTS! Our first open-submission exhibition of 2008, Nocturne, will be a celebration of the dark hours that fall between dusk and dawn. If you’ve ever stayed up into the night, sipping black coffee, collecting the haiku, senryu and tanka as they fall onto the lamp-lit page, then you may have the poems we’re looking for.

Submit up to ten haiku/senryu/tanka to threelightsgallery @yahoo. co. uk with a brief biography by December 10th 2007.

See our submissions page for more details at www.threelightsgallery.com/submissions.
