DailyHaiku Cycle 9 is now live, with a special set of seven haiku by our Invited Poet John Barlow. John's work mixes precise natural images with innovative language to create truly powerful moments. There is also a healthy helping of one-line haiku in the mix, to place focus on this flexible, evocative haiku structure. We hope you enjoy the set!

We'd also like to welcome our new contributor team: Joanne Chantelau, Ann K. Schwader, Deborah P. Kolodji, Matthew M. Cariello, Jim Benz, and Beverly A. Tift. Their will poems begin appearing on April 18th; stay tuned for what we know will be six months of marvelous haiku!
