Restless Blog Syndrome
At first, it was a tale of two blogs:
one dedicated exclusively to haiku; the other to stream-of-consciousness prose, insipid minutiae, unsolicited observations and extemporaneous rants. That’s the way it is now — and I’m not happy with the deliberate isolation. My observations in prose naturally lend themselves to haiku: segregating the two often leads to two incomplete portraits instead of one. Better to combine them, methinks.
Not long ago, I did exactly this, but with a twist: a haiku-only blog, and then a blog consisting of the same haiku — plus everything else, but this seemed to involve so much unnecessary duplication.
So here’s my proposal to myself: fold the current haikupoet.com - the blog into the current Extra Special Bitter, and ultimately redirect the former to the latter. Flames and arrows are henceforth cheerfully solicited.
