The original founder and first Webmistress of HAIGAOnline was Jeanne Emrich; the second editor and webmistress of haigaonline was an'ya, and the third editor and current Webmistress is Linda Papanicolaou, who now keeps it alive and well as Haigaonline at www.haigaonline.com
From the very beginning and to-date, the "Poem this Painting" concept was and still is, a special feature of HO. With respect and in keeping with that fun tradition, and since moonset prints haiga also - we invite everyone to send in their submissions to us for this cheery spring "chickadee in pine" by resident moonset artist, Marje A. Dyck of Canada. Marje herself will choose the haiku she thinks best enhances her artwork, and the finished haiga (haiku painting) will be published in moonset's Spring/Summer 2010 issue.
Just submit your (one) haiku directly to moonseteditor@gmail.com with the subject heading "Author this Picture" any time before our next deadline of 1 February, 2010. Think spring! . . .

ukiaHaiku Festival and Competition
The ukiaHaiku festival and competition welcomes submissions of haiku to the Jane Reichhold International Prize category (formerly known as the Contemporary Haiku category) from poets across the planet.* Poems submitted in this category may be written in either the contemporary or the traditional 5-7-5 format.
Jane Reichhold is a haiku poet of international renown who has generously contributed her time and expertise to the development of the ukiaHaiku festival. She is the author of over thirty books, including "Writing and Enjoying Haiku: A Hands-on Guide." She is a two-time winner of the Museum of Haiku Literature Award (Tokyo), and three-time winner of a Haiku Society of America Merit Book Award. In 1998, in recognition of her contributions to haiku poetry, the Emperor and Empress of Japan invited her to attend the Imperial New Year's Poetry Party at the Palace in Tokyo. But more than anything else, Jane is a delight to be with. Her love of Haiku as an art form is a reflection of her love of the world.
