Sometimes there's a snobbish attitude about self-publishing poetry but I've got an idea that needs to be realised.
While reading back over more than 1000 haiku, I found myself annoyed at the opportunities that had passed each day.
I'm looking for 60 or so poems for the book and there's a lot to choose from.
However, while considering my challenge to write a haiku each day, I found myself remembering the observation that it'll often take a second poem to feel like I've warmed up.
Usually if I spend the time writing a second draft, I'll get a much better result.
So, while looking back over the results of around three years of daily haiku, I started wondering about missed opportunities.
