Back Online
My blog poetically challenged has been offline for a while due to some difficulties I had accessing the site for a while. I think the issues are now resolved, and I will be updating it regularly again.

The Ingredients of Good Haiku
It has been a long time that I've not been posting regularly, putting up new acrostics on this blog. I haven't stopped writing poetry, though, of course. In fact, it's probably because I've been taking my writing so much more seriously that I don't spend much time posting here.
One of my recent projects, about which I posted here earlier, included using 30 of my haiku on a series of designer lamps. It was a fun project, and the lamps turned out great. I've also written a little follow up article, The Ingredients of Good Haiku, over at HubPages. Stop in and have a visit, if you are interested. I'd like to hear your comments.

dark 'til dawn
I am excited that my poetry is a part of this great project with decollection called dark 'til dawn. It is a series of designer lamps designed around 30 of my haiku, with each one-of-a-kind piece hand painted by Peter Zhou.

Reviews of Christian Fiction
I have started to build a new website with Christian fiction book reviews. The site has reviews of all sorts of titles, whether they be books marketed specifically as Christian fiction, or books that seem like things Christian readers might be interested in. I want to eventually have all kinds of books, old or new, and really aim to feature a breadth of titles, authors, and genres.
I have been posting reviews that I have written, and will continue to do so for as long as the site is up. At the same time, I want other readers to send reviews for inclusion on the website too. It doesn't matter whether the reviewer is a Christian or not. I am open to reviews from anyone, as long as the review keeps in mind that most the people reading at the site will be Christians, and so are written with that readership in mind.
There are a number of books that are already displayed on the site, and if you want to help, you can send a review of one of those, because I do want reviews of the same book from different readers. If you prefer, on the other hand, to send a review of a book not yet listed there, that's great too, as I also want to increase the number of titles I've got displayed on the site.

Resource for the Serious Shopper
OK, serious shoppers, you've got to see this: Shop Wiki> provides you the ideal tool for your online shopping needs. It crawls the internet for all the shops available online, and opens up for you a truly broad, practically inexhaustible shopping experience.
Say you are looking for girls' clothing. You key in your search terms, and it draws up a great list — in this case, an extensive buying guide explaining how to choose your product carefully when buying online. (And that's an especially useful skill when buying clothes online — I do it all the time, and have learned that there is a fine art to it!) If you are, for instance, looking for girls' skiwear, you type in "girls skiwear" for your search, and it takes you to a page with tons of options, like the one linked here. And all these items come from shops all over the internet.
Unlike regular search engines like Google, your search results aren't topped by paid listings, but by those that are most suitable for the terms you input. It makes shopping online much easier and more convenient.
Pop by and try it out. It can revolutionize the way you go about your online purchases.

Prayer
My blogging friend has started a new blog called Prayer Corner. You can go there and request prayers, "no strings attached."
Stop in if you are needed a prayer offered on your behalf. If you prefer, you can email him at prayercorner [at] ymail.com to request your prayer. (You'll have to change that to a workable address.)
