     Hi Tash,

     Thanks for visiting my site.

     I am aware that haiku can take on forms other than the traditional English form of 17 syllables in 3 lines. I just prefer to write most of my haiku in this extended format. No particular reason, though I do acknowledge that the more precise, concise, shorter form is more of a discipline, distilling one’s thoughts to their very essence.

     I don’t read any specific haiku journals because I subscribe to far too many journals I have trouble keeping up. I do read a number of Australian literary magazines which all include haiku.

   Your haiku is very good. Consider experimenting with form and distilling the essence of your creative revelation. When time permits, I enjoy reading the herron’s nest http://www.theheronsnest.com/ , creatrix haiku journal http://creatrix.wapoets.net.au/category/haiku/ , and paper wasp (A5 printed publication) http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/paperwasp/contributions.html have you submitted to these before?
