The New Orleans Haiku Society was founded in early 2002 by Johnette Downing and David G. Lanoue; it disbanded in 2016. Monthly meetings at the Milton Latter Public Library were open to the public. Attendees shared their haiku and other poetry, especially renga, and members published a collection of haiku, Katrina-ku: Storm Poems (2006) and two mini-chapbooks. At its peak the society had 11 regular attendees.

Route 9 Haiku Group is a small, exclusive local haiku group based in the Capital District of Upstate New York. It was founded in 2000 by Hilary Tann, Yu Chang, and John Stevenson and later joined by Tom Clausen and Ion Codrescu. The group meets monthly, usually in the Tai Pan restaurant in Halfmoon, N.Y., which specializes in dim sum (Chinese dumplings), and which in turn suggested the name of the group's biannual haiku journal, Upstate Dim Sum.

The Santa Fe Haiku Study Group was an informal circle of haiku poets and friends organized in January 2015 by Sondra J. Byrnes and Charles Trumbull in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The group initially met monthly (later quarterly), in one or another branch of the Santa Fe Public Library, with one meeting a year at a member’s home in Santa Fe or Albuquerque. The group disbanded in July 2021.

Upstate Dim Sum is the biannual journal/anthology of the Route 9 Haiku Group published in the Capital Area of New York State continuously since 2001. Regularly featured are selections of recent haiku and senryu by each group member, John Stevenson, Hilary Tann, Yu Chang, and Tom Clausen; two haiga by group member Ion Codrescu; and six haiku by a different guest poet in each issue.
