Noon submission guidelines: This journal aims for considerable aesthetic range, with an emphasis on outstanding haiku. I prefer to see between 5 and 15 poems in a submission—but quality over quantity. I don't like to state a strict limit on number of words or lines in a 'short poem', as it can depend on 'feel', line length, use of space, etc. Poems in Noon typically range from 1 to around 14 lines, with occasional haiga, haibun, visual or concrete poems, sequences or extracts from sequences.
