Please post your feedback about the poems and the overall experience in this thread.
Hearty congratulations to all the poets featured in our Fifty Fifth Issue!
Here's wishing haikuKATHA goes from strength to strength each month!
ISSUE 55 is now LIVE!!
In 2022/23, associate editors K. Ramesh, Shobhana Kumar, Madhuri Pillai, Akila G., Reid Hepworth, and Hemapriya Chellappan stepped down for personal reasons. After many years of being the tanka editor, Priti Aisola has stepped down, but will soon join back again. A huge thank you to all seven excellent editors. We wish them the very best.
Dear Managing Editor and Triveni Editorial family,
I express my deeply felt gratitude to you all for featuring my haiku(1) and tanka(1) for your distinguished monthly haikai journal, haikuKATHA, #55, May 2026. As ever, I'm hugely encouraged to keep up my writing in the days to come.
In the haikai mind,
Tejendra Sherchan
