The plop of wet snow, such a good sound.
It’s nice to be filling in the blanks a little with haibun again.
I wrote short poems all last year, but I just didn’t have the energy to do anything more than that (take pictures and write prose).
I did make a few submissions and get a couple pieces accepted, but other than that, my time and energy was mostly directed elsewhere.
I once submitted a few short poem to a publication called Hummingbird, and three of them were accepted. But, alas, they were never published because the editor/owner passed away soon after. Other than those, I have not submitted anything.
I'm glad to hear you were still writing this past year. And getting some accepted. Taking pictures and writing is a lot! I feel blessed to read anything from you.
Thank you.
The submission process is not interesting in the least. That’s for sure. But seeing your poems in print with others is very rewarding. It’s fun to see what company you’re in.
I compiled a list of journals that accepts poems shared on social media based on a more comprehensive list of haiku journals someone else made.
Every couple of months I look at it and quickly send about thirty poems in total to three or four journals. I prefer to not think about it too much. For me, just sharing what I’ve written on personal blogs, etc. is satisfying.
