I do apologise for not writing anything in a while. I was reaching a point with haiku where it was capping out and I felt frustrated and forced.
It might surprise you how long it can take to write 3 lines, 3 worthwhile lines about the turn of a flower or the arrangement of cars and I will again but only when the content I see inspires me and not because I have said that is what I must do.
More than anything i just want to express myself in this phase, pour it out without rules, and sometimes it is going to be unspeakable and sometimes nonsense but I hope never dull.
I posted the first of these, a sort of break up letter to haiku in the wee hours.

So I hope that the beautiful community here on Tumblr is okay with that, okay with me suddenly changing the style I offer up.
It has taken me over a month to not feel shame about this, to be able to admit it and not feel like I am failing myself and the people who choose to read what comes out of me.
I look forward to seeing how my years in haiku help me create longer format stuff that makes my older stuff look weak.
I hope you will too.
Thank you xx
