Invent Your Moon

Look for the moon this June at Cold Moon Journal. Name your moon. Define your moon. Invent your moon.

You are invited to submit moon poems of one to five lines (haiku/senryu/tanka flavor). Submit up to three original moon poems in the English language (those appearing on social media fine) to coldmoonjournal@gmail.com between June 1 to June 10 only. Note: This will be the sole window of opportunity for our June submissions.

No acceptance/rejection notices will be sent during June. Just visit Cold Moon Journal to view the moon during June.
