I received a $2 payment – don’t laugh; most journals don’t pay anything at all! – AND a contributor’s copy in the mail today for two poems that I’d forgotten had been accepted – in JUNE of 2022!

The form is called scifaiku (sy-fi-KU) and the journal is called Scifaikuest. Here’s their blurb:

“Scifaikuest” is actually two magazines–one online and one print–specializing in scifaiku and other minimalist poetry forms forms, notably senryu, haibun, and tanka, as well as cinquains, fibonacci, etc. Both online and print magazines feature poetry and articles.

My poems, er, scifaiku, don’t appear online so here are a few snaps from their lovely journal. Thanks for looking! 🙂

What do you enjoy most about writing?
View all responses

Whether I’m writing in my journal, which I do every day, or composing a post for my blog or putting my thoughts down on paper (real or virtual) to create either prose or poetry, I enjoy getting the gunk out of my head so that I can revisit, revise or – at times! – revile what I’ve written. What I enjoy most about writing is the satisfaction of having expressed myself as fully as I’m able to, to feel pretty much terrific when I’ve arrived at the phrasing, the language, the tone that beautifully – to me! – articulates what it is I want the world to know, even if – sometimes especially if – no one but me will ever read it.
