酷我-北美枫

My Dear Fellow Poets:

I launched a new poetry blog on the first day of the year of the snake, 2013: NeverEnding Story, the first English-Chinese haiku and tanka blog, two of which sections are open for submissions (If everything goes well with my poetry blog, I'll publish Butterfly Dream 2013: Selected English-Chinese Bilingual Haiku and One Man’s Maple Moon 2013: Selected English-Chinese Bilingual Tanka in April, 2014; for more information, please see the "Anthology Submissions" webpage)

NeverEnding Story is established to fulfill my butterfly dream portrayed in the haibun, entitled “To Liv(e),” which was published in Frogpond (official journal of Haiku Society of America), 34:3, Fall 2011. I hope it can bring the beauty of English language Japanese short form poetry to Chinese readers around the world. For more information, see About NeverEnding Story

Since its inception, NeverEnding Story has been well-received in the poetry communities it serves, and its haiku and tanka have been regularly reprinted in the five e-papers (as of now, NeverEnding Story has 7494 pageviews)

Most importantly, on the 5th day (Feb. 14) of Chinese New Year Festival, I launched a Chinese mirror website, 唱不完的詩歌: 中英雙語短詩網誌, putting NeverEnding Story on the literary map of “Cultural China.” For more information, see Hot News: 唱不完的詩歌, Chinese Mirror Website Launched.

Congrats! Good luck.

I am glad that you found your way to write.

From my own experience, writing free verse is to be me, writing haiku is to be the one that lets go of me. In either way I love it. Haiku let me live in each moment. Free verses let them move around and become full stories.
I guess for me, Free verses are like rivers, Haiku are raindrops
