View from the choir
I am a Catholic layperson and Secular Franciscan with a sense of humor. After years in the back pew watching, I have moved into the choir. It's nice to see faces instead of the backs of heads. But I still maintain God has a sense of humor - and that we are created in God's image.

You always right such wonderful haikus. I'm horrible at poetry, so I love reading poems by talented people like yourself. Have you gotten any of your writings published yet?
Thanks you. I've had several of my haiku published. I keep sending out more in hopes of further publication.
The last batch netted three sales - at $.50 each!
I'm keeping my day job.
That's great, Lee. It's so hard to get anything published. I wrote one short story before, and I never got it published. It probably wasn't very good, but it was a lot of fun to write.
What company do you send your haikus to that pays $.50 each?
There are several haiku periodicals. I've published haiku in "bottle rockets, frogpond," and "haiku headlines." I also joined some area haiku poets to publish a chapbook ("A Harvest of Haiku"); we have a second chapbook in the works.
I've published other poetry in a number of publications oveer the years, but it's not regular, and it certainly does not pay well. I think the most I ever got for a poem was $5.
To be honest, I'm an okay poet, not a great one, so I'm not surprised. Actually, each acceptance is a pleasnt surprise!
I've had less luck with short stories. About a dozen rejections over the years.
I keep trying.
