The next issue of the Haiku journal @thesolitarydaisy.bsky.social will drop on Saturday. This time the featured poems use the prompt "microscope" I thought I would play along and draw one.

The 2026 Solitary Daisy Haiku Contest is now closed - 278 entries! Sally and Michele will be working their way through these with a (maybe too ambitious) goal of announcing the winners in the April 25th issue 😄🤞🏻🌼

Last call for haiku in the 2026 Solitary Daisy Haiku Contest! Submissions close April 4th at midnight Pacific Time. Details and entry form here: thesolitarydaisy.ca/haiku-contest/
