This is Melissa - wondering if there are any fellow dog and/or pet lovers in the #epistemicfamily and #poetry community who'd be interested in collaborating with me on a volume of poems about pets with the proceeds being donated to the rescue I volunteer with? Inspired by @1dgrn.bsky.social

#Haiku advice, fwiw
At an editors panel at the #Haiku Society of America: "What are you sick of seeing in haiku?" Different tastes of course.
- one-word senryu
- haiku about "words unspoken", about "all the ...", starting with prepositional phrases
- trying too hard to be experimental; too obscure; "dad joke senryu"
