Below is a sample entry:
Bridges Unseen
by Anne Brown of Australia
silent river speaks
a single stone skips across
bridges made of words
ink flows from both shores
letters meet in mid-current
fading into light
between quiet hands
a book opens, breath held still
pages span the gap
even strangers pause
sharing lines beneath the sky
bound by whispered verse
Deadline: 31 July 2025 or until we have received the right entries
We look forward to reading your haiku and seeing how you build your own Bridges of Words.
