Thank you Anita for your kind comments regarding Just Three Lines Volume 1 Part 1 very much appreciated. Part 2 coming soon followed by the complete collection in one volume. What did you think of the publishing format? Certainly not the traditional way to publish! I’d appreciate your views on the matter.

My pleasure,Goff. The publishing format you have adopted is new to me. It is interesting though and I think it suits the purpose of publishing an anthology for free.

Thank you for your thoughts Anita. Your views are much appreciated. The format is low tech, no financial overheads, no stressful editor’s deadlines to be met and equally important no tax liabilities. I confess it is radical; but, being so, I was able to maintain control over all aspects of the publication – writing, design etc. Stay Smiling My Friend.

I don’t know how it would have been different if it had been in a book format, but I thought the format was good. Sorry, I’m not more help. Hope you have a good day 🙂

Your comments, My Friend, are much valued. The publication is very much in the format of a traditional book but adapted to a slideshow. I just wished WP had a means of making the slideshow pages appear to turn over rather than slide from one slide to the next. So pleased you enjoyed. Stay Smiling.

Congratulations, Goff. This is so exciting!
I like your fresh and unique publication format. Slideshow is for me a perfect way to browse haikus. Their short “three lines” work well for reading/ reflection.
Your poems are emotional jewels. Even when the topic “seems” unrelated to human experience, you capture the essence feeling, examples:
#49…”waiting for the tide” and #57:
“Loves carousel spins
Life’s tragic symohonies played…”
I enjoyed the food related imager poems…#15 #36 #34–in
“Potato Salad…Dining al fresco.”
Thank you, my friend, for this sumptuous haiku feast! Namaste.

Many Thanks Suzette for reading Just Three Lines Vol. 1 Part1. Part 2 on its way followed by the complete works in one edition. I was concerned about the radical format. A step away from the traditional way of publishing an anthology of poetry. Thanks also for your support, encouragement and very kind comments. Your views are very much valued. Have a wonderful day My Friend.

I just finished reading the collection, which I greatly enjoyed. I recognized a few old favorites and found some new ones. I think the Introduction you wrote was a good idea to give readers the context for the poems and the frame of mind to appreciate them fully. The format worked great for this collection. I appreciated how easy it was to go from one page to the next. (Not always the case with PDFs.)

Sorry Liz for the delay in replying. Many thanks for the read and much valued comments. Most of the poems go right back to when I first started trying to write haiku. On reading them, many were dreadful; consequently, I spent much time rewriting them to get some semblance of poetic decency about them. The publication format did concern me considerably as it seemed rather radical with regard to publishing an anthology. I just wished WP had a facility in slideshow that enabled page ‘turn over’ transition rather than just transition slide to slide. Have a great day My Friend
