There’s a theory that a poet’s work tends toward one of four major axes—poetry of the body, poetry of the mind, poetry of the heart, or poetry of the soul. Where would you place your work, if at all?

Here’s a #haiku and some pics, all inspired by a return visit to a chilly #Amsterdam around a year ago. #senryusunday

That’s a great list, thanks Julie.

Places Where I’ve Published Poetry Julie Bloss Kelsey’s list of poetry (mostly haiku) markets past and present where her work has been published.

On my blog, I’ve listed links to 50+ active journals that take short-form poetry like haiku & tanka (not all have open submission periods atm) & another 40ish that are defunct. Enjoy!

Thanks Jenn, positive as always! It’s a great city, so compact / walkable, great galleries, cafes etc. Try to do a canal boat tour while you’re there.

It sure is! 💪🏻

What a star! And she can sing too! 🌟

This #haiku got second prize in the Seashores Journal ‘Kukai’ (competition) in #Dublin last week. I decided to pair it with a photo from the same day, to create a #haiga. Both inspired outside Glasgow, #Scotland in late December.

Congrats! 🥳

This is a great opportunity for emerging poets. Deadline 8/3/26

Not a very auspicious start to the Chinese / Tibetan New Year (Male Fire Horse) 🐴

Well done Norway! 🇳🇴

Thanks Gerry, and for the repost! I nearly said ‘retweet’ there… :-0

Two good pieces of #haiku news in the last week: ‘stone labyrinth’ (inspired in #Scotland) got 2nd prize in last week’s Seashores ‘kukai’ competition and my #senryu sequence appears in the new issue of @abridgedmagazine.bsky.social 😊 Here are the first two senryu…

Spring is springing in one of my local parks in #Dublin. The daffs aren’t quite blooming yet, but getting there…

Sex and snacks, but no seat at the table: the role of women in Epstein’s sordid men’s club Files reveal a world of flattery and fratboy tones, where rich men are cultivated and women provide services

‘The Epstein files reveal a patriarchy in action. This is a world where the men are rich and powerful, and the women are not’. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Great to see the old Central Hotel in #Dublin reopened, including the beautiful Library Bar, one of my favourite former (and now future) haunts - just a bit smaller than it was previously. I interviewed the stellar New York poet Samuel Menashe in there, many moons ago!

Awful news!
