I love how even your shortest poems manage to convey so much emotion, while leaving room for the imagination. Amazing job, and congrats on getting published!

Thank you! I actually had no idea I'd get published, especially not twice in two consecutive months. This is amazing, really.

Awesome! So happy I could re-introduce this book. And again, I'm proud of your poem being in the magazine.

Thank you, Mackay- I'm glad you took the time to read this. And I'm really happy to be in the magazine, so thank you again. I just found the book on Amazon, and it looks really good. I'm going to buy it for myself, I think. So thank you a third time for introducing it to me!

it reminds me of this book i saw today at a book store called chasers of the light by tyler knott gregson. it's ridiculously cute but astounding. if you haven't read it, go buy it. it's worth it: the style and formatting and the poems themselves.

again you create something seemingly tiny, like a pearl. yet, as a pearl, it's gorgeous even amidst all the sand and chaos and despair of this world. nicely done. and congrats on the publication. ^u^

Thank you. At this point, I honestly can't remember if I meant to do that, but at this point I don't think it would sound better in the format.

I'm rather amazed I didn't notice that, to be honest @-@ How did I get an editors' choice for this?

I really like the concept of your poem, it's creative and original. However, technically it's not a haiku because the last line has only three syllables instead of five. Great work though and congrats on getting editors choice! :)
