In the wake of last week’s disastrous earthquake and tsunami in Japan, efforts are underway everywhere to raise funds for the victims and survivors.   A few days ago, Marjorie mentioned in her post an initiative called New Sun Rising which is a charity anthology to which you can contribute writing.  They have a short deadline: April 11, so get your work in soon!  They are definitely taking poetry and if you are interested in submitting haiku, you might want to take a look at their post on the form.  For poetry submissions, their guidelines are as follows:

Poems should be no longer than 40 lines, and please no more than 3. (Unless it’s haiku. Then you can send us 5—and it’s still only 15 lines!)

So if you have any poems sitting around in a file somewhere, now’s your chance to submit them for a worthy cause!

Poetry Friday is hosted this week by Andi at A Wrung Sponge.
