tinywords will be returning to life on December 1, after a 16-month hiatus. There will be some changes: First of all, we’ll focus on micropoetry (very short poems) of all kinds as well as haiku.
Second, we’ll be publishing in issues. Each issue will published gradually, one poem per day, but there may be gaps between the end of one issue and the beginning of the next, during which we won’t be publishing anything.
I hope you’ll join us for the new phase of tinywords. To subscribe or unsubscribe to our daily email list, click on the subscriptions link on the left side of this page.
And if you’d like to submit to tinywords, we’ll be accepting micropoetry submissions until November 24.
Note: This haiku was previously published in tinywords on 14 April 2006.
Welcome back!
Nice! Your Twitter link yields a 404, though.
Thanks Dave. I think the Twitter link is borked because I keep unpublishing & republishing this haiku while I test the auto-tweet and auto-email system, and I've probably changed the permalink. Should be cleared up once we're really rolling.
SO glad to have you back – my life just got better!
So glad you have come back and hope all goes well
Wonderful news, Dylan!
Wonderfully! It is a great joy for me and my haiku friends.
Oh I am soooo happy!!! All the best!

This a welcomed return!
Welcome back, Dylan! So glad to see you in my inbox again. :)
What a pleasant surprise to see tinywords back in my mailbox again! I missed you!
I wondered what happened. But then I was sort of disconnected myself. Look forward to the “fresh” words
Glad to see so many familiar names, and a few new ones too! Can't wait until December 1st! ;-)

Yay! Welcome back!
So happy to hear from you.
Great to have you back Dylan!
Fantastic to have you back!
Yes, good news! Thanks, Dylan. And I love your term, “micropoetry.”
Tiny words, a happy way to start my day! Thanks foir returning. You have been missed.
Thanks Ellen! Re “micropoetry” — it's not my term, it's a term that's in general use for very short poems that are suitable for publishing on sites like Twitter and Identi.ca. Usually that means <140 characters … though I'm not sure I'll be so strict here. We'll see!
There are other good micropoetry sites — for instance, see Open MIcro.
Yay!!
long time no see. welcome back.
One of the best news of the week !
All my best from France
I missed you!

Thanks for your comment, Dawn. As I mentioned in an email response to you, I'd like all the submissions to be made via the web form. But if anyone has trouble with the form, drop me a line and I'll see if I can help fix it.
I too am glad you are back!
