Modern Haiku - Poetry, Haiku, Senryu, Haibun, Haiga

Modern Haiku
 http://www.modernhaiku.org/

If I may, ahem:

The ancient Haiku
Compressed thought in word, it springs
Like a season's change :)

http://www.modernhaiku.org/submissions.html
Modern Haiku, An Independent Journal of Haiku and Haiku Studies. I think the name says it all. Modern Haiku publishes Haiku and Senryu, as well as Haibun and Haiga. I'm a little upset that they don't publish Tanka, but that's neither here nor there.

Modern Haiku isn't a pro market, they pay an honorarium of $1 per haiku, $2 for haibun and $10 for haiga. The good this is, they pay on acceptance!

They also publish essays, book reviews and commission art work. However, since those things are commissioned, you can't send them in over the transom. Send a query letter first!

Although not pro (by payment standards), I'm including  the publication just because...well, just because it's awesome. The site has a ton of back issues and samples for you to peruse as well. And of course they accept electronic submissions.

I'm not going to get too much into it because Modern Haiku's website has all of the info you need. Their guidelines page is very, very detailed and I suggest you read it in its entirety. Ya might learn something new.

Well, there's one caveat:

Editorial cut-off dates for the reading and selection of submissions are March 15, July 15, and November 15 (postmark), but material may be sent at any time and upon acceptance will be published in the next available issue.

Dreams & Nightmares - Poetry - Flash Fiction - Artwork

Dreams and Nightmares
http://dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.com/

My kind of publication! Dreams and Nightmares (DN) publishes mostly poetry of the speculative type (fantasy and science fiction).

Welcome to the website for Dreams and Nightmares magazine. DN is a print magazine of science fiction and fantasy poetry. DN was founded in January of 1986.

The magazine accepts poetry and short (flash) fiction as well as some artwork. Of course the editor/publisher prefers email submissions :) I do believe he will pay by paypal as well if requested. Also, this happens to be one of those glorious "pays on acceptance" markets (as opposed to "pays on publication")
http://dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.com/guidelines.htm
Poetry & Fiction
Maximum length for poetry or fiction is 2 single-spaced typed pages, but I prefer less than one page. I prefer e-submissions in the body of the message.
I print 15-20 poems per issue. Buying 1st N.Am. serial rights unless state otherwise. Payment is $12 on acceptance + 2 contributor's copies.
Fewer than 5% of submissions are accepted. Response time is commonly 4-8 weeks.

Artwork
Artwork should be line drawings; no half-tones. Good photocopies OK, but I prefer to receive JPEG's as e-mail attachments. Art should be no larger than 4 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches, but I can reduce it. Payment $12 on acceptance plus 2 copies.

For samples of artwork, the site has a gallery section with covers from back issues: http://dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.com/gallery.htm

Send submissions to: dckmdnmag@gmail.com

David (the editor/publisher) also keeps a regular blog with site updates, announcements and examples of his own work - it looks like he posts a daily haiku :) http://dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.blogspot.com/

You can also find him on Twitter and...lot's of other places.
