Hi-Q: spring softening

Hi-Q

spring softening winter’s sharp edges


branches
once bare
soften under spring sun


Whats Next?
What are these new experiments and formats I keep hinting at? Haven't the foggiest! But I think the broadstroke ideas fall into three general categories:

  1. Collections (zines, books, pamphlets, cycles, vignettes, etc.).
  2. Physical artifacts (typewriter art pieces, textile, paint, landscape works, who knows)
  3. Digitally-native artifacts (podcast, audio poems, animated pieces, hyperlink works, pieces that can only exist because of technology)

I also just want to read, think, and write more about haiku, not just make haiku. I think I hit a point where the daily aspect of this current version became more primary than the haiku portion. I need to disrupt that habitual rhythm in order to explore (I already feel more excited about and creative with haiku again since making this decision).
