Simon Ashcroft<p>Many thanks to all who have shown an interest in "Remnants", my book of haiku and senryu, available on Amazon and Rakuten Kobo (DM me for enquiries re: signed e-book or physical copies). My modest aim was to sell at least 2 copies, and that has been well surpassed in the month since it was published.</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DSGGQZB6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DSGGQZB6</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.kobo.com/gb/eTUQ9vaEKPt3cKmpn/ebook/remnants-38" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">kobo.com/gb/eTUQ9vaEKPt3cKmpn/</span><span class="invisible">ebook/remnants-38</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/haiku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>haiku</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/senryu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>senryu</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PoetryCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoetryCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/SJAshcroftsPoems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SJAshcroftsPoems</span></a></p>

Simon Ashcroft<p>The 3 covers of "Remnants," my book of haiku and senryu verse – paperback, Kindle & Kobo. Same image of a sandy coloured ruined stone wall at Kenilworth Abbey Fields, with trees and blue sky in the background. Same title and author name, Simon J Ashcroft – but different styles of lettering and layout. Total accident, that it turned out like this, but I rather like having the instant differentiation.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/SJAshcroftsPoems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SJAshcroftsPoems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/haiku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>haiku</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/senryu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>senryu</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/poems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poetry</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PoetryCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoetryCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/MyWordsMyWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyWordsMyWork</span></a></p>

Simon Ashcroft<p>General introduction...</p><p>I'm a longtime Diaspora and not quite so long Friendica user. I write poetry, have a taste for the bizarre and silly. Greek learner, but from Wales.</p><p>This is meant to be a backup to allow me to keep up with Mastodon contacts when my Friendica instance has indigestion.</p><p>Following: <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poetry</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/poems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/haiku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>haiku</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/senryu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>senryu</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PoetryCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoetryCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/greek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greek</span></a> </p><p>I will post using <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/SJAshcroftsPoems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SJAshcroftsPoems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/MyWordsMyWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyWordsMyWork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/SJAshcroftsPhotos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SJAshcroftsPhotos</span></a></p>
