Yes – there is quite a bit of that stuff going on, here & in other countries too

All the states in Australia have haiku several groups & (humble-brag) up until this year I was on the executive of the Australian Haiku Association (HaikuOz)

(🤔 not sure that is something most people would brag about)

Haiku aficionados no longer write in 17 syllables 😁

In you’re interested, online haiku journals:
- Frogpond
- Modern Hakiu
- several others

Also the Australian Haiku Society (HaikuOz)

Oooh, not to forget the Echidna Tracks website ~
