I’m so tickled pink!
One of my haiku poems got accepted for publication with New Sun Rising: Stories for Japan – the charity anthology whose sale profits will go to the country’s earthquake relief efforts.
And I’m totally dumbfounded because the editors picked what I thought is the weakest - and yet the most personal - out of the five I sent.
So there you go! Sometimes wearing your heart on your sleeve, works!
Charlie says: There's something fishy going on!
Enjoy your day!
