Sounds like a great opportunity!  Wrong continent for me, alas.

Looking good.  Dashes actually display fine for me (unless you fixed it since Friday).

Good to see you and Chen-ou both in there, Don!  I'll have to submit for the upcoming issue. :)

Thanks, Alan and SM.

Non-editorial is definitely a priority for something like this.  Glad to know it seems to be coming together, in any case--always painful to watch markets go silent and fold.

Thanks, Sandra.   :)

I did see that announcement, but given that I'd queried him a few weeks before he posted it and still haven't heard anything, I'm not optimistic.

Journal Announcements / Prune Juice?

Anybody heard anything from the new editor of this senryu journal?  I'm starting to fear it's gone under.

Thanks, Sandra!

I showed my wife the options and we're going with:

Quotepaired even in darkness the doves' wings

Much appreciate all the feedback.  :)

Nice one, Don!  And a whole two characters to spare even with the em-dash.  :o

Nifty.  Can't go wrong with doves...  :)

Much appreciated, SL!  (I think with spaces counted, that might go over the character limit, but I like the ideas you've given me)

paired hearts even in the rain the doves

^ is 39 characters (counting spaces).  Too short!

Playing more on doves:

paired even in darkness the doves' wings  (39 char)

For Christmas this year I'm having my wife's and my wedding rings resized (they never fit) and engraved (we were always too lazy).

I'd like to put something a bit more interesting and meaningful than the usual "here is when we got married" on it.

I think a one-line haiku would fit the bill.  Anybody have any good ideas?  Essential epithets/kigo that refer to stability and permanence?  Or equilibrium-like dynamism?

"Matched pair" would make a neat start.

matched pair-- even when the rain threatens

?

I'm lousy at this sorta stuff...

40 character limit, including spaces, if anybody else is game to have a go. :)
