A pleasant surprise over the weekend: one of my haikus received a swift acceptance from a small poetry e-zine, 5-7-5 Haiku Journal.

I don’t usually submit poetry–it’s just not worth the effort most of the time–but this haiku received pretty rave reviews when I workshopped, and I felt like it was one of my best unpublished haikus, so I decided to roll the dice.
5-7-5 came back with an acceptance in just four hours(!!!), and the haiku is set to be published on their site on June 12th!
Stay tuned for the announcement post and link on Thursday.
