Haiku News is taking a little break at the moment, due to unforeseen circumstances (most of which revolve around my serious lack of time, due to other commitments). We will be back, and hopefully sooner than expected. And for all those that have submissions waiting, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please do not worry, your work is really appreciated by us and we love each and every one of you for continuing to submit to Haiku News.
