Wordjar’s Haiku anthology which will be the 9th book in their collection is set to be released early next month on the 5th of June. Wondering what poets are in the anthology? Find out next week on #WorjdarWednesday

Our 8th anthology has been out for a week, and we have judged it to be a success so far. It has generated over 3000 reads in a week with almost 1000 downloads, which is the most for any Wordjar book so far. My Love 3 was also fortunate enough to be on the Scribd home page for he majority of the week. We are very pleased with all these stats, but we would like to hear some more feedback from the readers, what do you think of the anthology?

The following poets have all written pieces for our next anthology, My Love 3, check out their blogs to get a feel of their writing style:

 Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

In “You’ll Love Me Yet! - and I Can Tarry,” Robert Browning pledges to remain true to unrequited love, assured that it will grow, if it takes until death.

Wordjar is now collecting poems for the third edition of its annual love poetry anthology ‘My Love’.
