Summary

The author plans to embrace the conciseness of haikus and Medium's Short Form articles to enhance their writing productivity and depth during a prolific month of May.

Abstract

The article titled "This May Be A Haiku Kind of Month" suggests that the author is entering a phase of creativity akin to the brevity and depth of haikus. With the mind feeling scattered, the author sees the value in expressing thoughts through the minimalistic poetry form of haiku, aiming to capture profound truths in few words. To align with this approach, the author intends to utilize Medium's Short Form format, which requires articles to be 150 words or less. This constraint is expected to help in producing a more abundant and diverse body of work, likened to cultivating a garden of thoughts. The author invites readers to explore their previous writings and also recommends an AI service, ZAI.chat, as a cost-effective alternative to ChatGPT Plus.

Opinions

  • The author views haikus as a means to convey meaningful thoughts succinctly, especially on days when the mind is not at its clearest.
  • There is an appreciation for the challenge of expressing ideas within the limited scope of short-form content, which the author believes can lead to more plentiful and potentially insightful writings.
  • The author is hopeful that their short-form writings will yield quality content, comparing the process to growing flowers rather than weeds.
  • The author values reader engagement and encourages readers to explore their past works on Medium.
  • The author endorses ZAI.chat, an AI service, suggesting it as a more affordable option for those interested in AI capabilities similar to ChatGPT Plus.

This May Be A Haiku Kind of Month

Short poems may prevail

Some days are haikus There’s not much to say for them Some haikus say more

On brain-foggy days Some turn thoughts into haikus Hoping for deep truths

So far the month of May has me sprouting like an out-of-control plant, traipsing off in too many directions.

Since I don’t want to plant my thoughts too long in any spot (ahem) and possibly stunt any growth they show so far, I plan to try Medium’s Short Form type of articles. These articles must be 150 words or shorter. The brief length should allow me to grow a more plentiful crop of poems and articles.

Let’s hope the crop produces more pretty flowers than scraggly weeds.

Thanks for reading this! I hope you will want to see what I’ve cultivated on Medium so far. You can find the link to those articles and poems here.
