Guys, I’m so tickled and over the moon with joy. I sent a couple of Haiku to Dagda Publishing some months back, about five in all for consideration. Frankly I forgot all about it until a few minutes ago when I received this mail from Reg Davey, the Editor-in-Chief:
Hi, your haiku “Render” has been successful and shall be included in the anthology, Western Haiku: A Collection. Release date is 4th June, and proceeds from the sale of the anthology shall be helping to fund Scope, a UK mental health charity.
Me, Celestine, to have a haiku of mine published in an anthology. Oh la la! To God be the glory. One haiku is too many for me and so I just want to share this great news with all of you my wonderful friends who have encouraged and supported me throughout my blogging journey. Thank you so so much. Without Haiku Heights I wouldn’t have been able to perfect my talent. Thank you Leo.
Such delightful news Elixir to spur me on To much greater heightsShalom 🙂

Indeed: ‘To God be the glory,’ Celestine. I am so happy for you and hope there will be many readers out there that will enjoy reading them as much as your blogger friends have when they see the finished product. Congratulations! And thank you too for recently reading some of my chapters to my recent story, When Dark Closes In, and my other posts and haiku. The haiku has most definitely been a lot of fun to do.
Joyce, I felt honored to read your work. Unfortunately you had closed the comments and so I could not comment. I could only like them. I’m intrigued and I would want to read more my dear friend.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your lovely encouragement
Your are welcome, Celestint. And thank you, again. I did not realize you were unable to post a comment. I could maybe reset that to allow for more. I will be posting more fiction and chapters to the one story. I am presently working on two longer fiction stories simultaneously, and back and forth between them and poems. Enough to keep me busy.:)
Celestine, I have just reset my ‘comments’ option to allow for more and for older posts. That should help. 🙂
Thanks. It should 🙂 Will check the blog out soon
That’s fantastic and also well deserved! I am so happy for you and I look forward to hearing more good news about your future publications, accomplishments and most importantly, each and every blog that you post here 🙂
Thank you so much, Parmis, for the lovely words 🙂
Congratulations…. I pray it goes well and sucessful
Thank you Clinton. That’s my prayer too 🙂
Congratulations ! You deserve it.
Cheers !
Thank you, my friend
Wow! Celestine! This calls for celebration!!! I’m mighty proud of you dear friend!! More grease to your elbow!!!
Much love. 🙂
Thank you for your lovely support, always 🙂 Wish I could celebrate in a grand style over here. Unfortunately, school reopens soon and fees would have to be paid. But who knows? It could be a low scale 🙂
Ha ha ha! Low key or not, just send my cake and champagne! I’m really happy for you!
🙂
Congratulations, Celeste! This is wonderful news! *highfive*
(Also, as I’m sure you noticed, my phone keeps autocorrecting Celestine to Celeste. Sigh. I apologize for my phone’s goofy ways!)
Please don’t apologise. Celeste is fine by me; actually just the short form of my name. Over here my friends call me Cele. 🙂
My phone must have known…haha!
Yay 🙂 “Highfive” Thanks a million, Heather.
❤ Yahoo!!!
