This collection is part of my efforts to fully catalogue my poetry on hive by theme and style. Over the last eight months, I have been very active performing my poems in the Liverpool scene, and I've been asked on many occasions by other poets and audience members where they can buy books of my poetry.
I have shown many people poems on my @Peakd webpage, but unfortunately, there is no function to easily search an author by category (E.G. searching @raj808 #poetry) using any of the hive front ends of which I'm aware.
This is why I'm making collection posts on hive that are easily accessible, so I can edit, revise and polish poems to collate them into thematic collections. I then aim to engage a professional printing service I've sourced to print books of various collections of poems (called chapbooks in the poetry world).
I will then have physical copies to sell at poetry nights where I perform in my home city of Liverpool and will also self-publish both physical and digital versions on Amazon KDP Kindle, Apple Books and Barnes & Noble.
I will of course promote these collections on hive once the work is done in case any of my followers want to buy hard copies of my chapbooks, as they can obviously find digital versions easily on my blog once I've collated all my poems, split them up into themed collections, and published them here on PEAKD.
The first month of daily Haiku I undertook followed specific themes, but focused more on traditional haiku for the first three weeks, reflecting on nature and the clarity of mind that often accompanies quiet observance of the natural world. Each week's theme is outlined below:
The first week's broad theme was different natural environments.
The second week's broad theme was man vs nature.
The third week's broad theme was traditional haiku, trying to capture the essence of a perfect moment, zen.
The fourth week's broad theme was technology.
