Just a reminder that tinywords 25.1 began this week. If you want to follow along with our 25th year of daily #haiku and #micropoetry publishing, please follow us via our website, email, or B***sky. Thank you.

tinywords resumes next week. We have just posted the winners of our photo prompt contest. Please follow us on our website or BlueSky if you want to stay in touch.

Therefore, we will no longer be posting haiku and micropoetry here. Please follow us on BlueSky, where we have the handle @tinywords.com (bsky.app/profile/tinywords.c…). We look forward to seeing you and sharing haiku with you there. -Peter, Kathe, and Dylan

We, the editors and publisher of tinywords, believe in free expression, creativity, inclusiveness, and global friendship. As artists, poets, human beings, and American citizens, we can no longer support the fascism, intolerance, and repressiveness that X enables and promotes.

Hello tinywords community! A reminder that our reading window closes in a week, on Aug. 31. Submit your tiny poetry here: tinywords.com/?p=41278 tinywords.com/?p=41278

tinywords will be on pause until the next issue begins at the end of September. In the meantime, check out our photo prompt: tinywords.com/?p=41278
