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.

  3. 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.

  23. 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.

  31. 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.
