Word Craft Poetry
Today I want to share with you my interview at the amazing Word Craft Poetry site that took place a week ago.
In this post I discuss with Colleen why I write poetry, specifically haiku, and I also talk about my forthcoming poetry collection, Vampirical Verse.
Check it out at Meet The Poet.

few days late reading this interview. So wonderful to get to know Freya a bit more. What a wonderful interview, Colleen. Thanks for all you do; you two ladies are tops.
I’ve been trying to get at least one haiku to Freya but I fail with timing. One day I will. I’ve purchased one of Freya’s lovely poetry books already: My Mythology—
Dragonscale Delvings Volume 2
But I’m so behind in reading. I do wish I didn’t need to sleep. But, I’m not a robot— thank goodness.
“I think a poem is a two-fold process. It’s firstly a product of the writer’s experience. And secondly, it’s a work of art that can either be accepted or rejected by the reader.” I adore this statement. How spot on! The part about being “either” accepted or rejected is especially poignant. Thanks for this.
I’m only in my third year of poetry so I accept I have a long ways to go.
I have fallen for syllabic poetry in its many forms. Love the restrictions and, like Freya, the discipline.
Thanks for this interview. Xoxo
And thanks again, Freya. Xoxo

Thank you for taking the time to read the interview at Word Craft Poetry, Selma! I’m delighted that what I said struck a chord with you. Thank you too, for buying My Mythology. I hope you’ll enjoy it, when you get to read it. (Don’t worry, I’m the same – it can take me up 2 years to get to reading a book from first hearing about it – life is too short, isn’t it?) Pure Haiku will open again in October this year so hopefully you’ll have time that month to submit some work – I look forward to it! Keep writing! Stay creative!

I will put that down in my calendar so I have something to look forward to. Yay.
