Author’s Note: Once More Unto Tinywords
I got a nice piece of news recently: this haiku has been accepted for the next publication of Tinywords. Tinywords 15.1 will begin to appear online, one haiku at a time, in early February.
This is my second time in Tinywords, which is now edited by Kathe L. Palka and Peter Newton; d.f. tweney founded Tinywords and continues to publish it.
So, again, yay me!
