Poetry

Some of my recently published monoku, haiku, senryu, and tanka ...

between

fallen leaves

marsh marigold’s green

Wales Haiku Journal, Spring 2024

shades of pink

on every gnarled branch

blossoming light

Autumn Moon Haiku Journal, 7:2, Spring / Summer 2024

looking for Jesus

as eagerly as he looks for me

sheep & shepherd

soft rain

the words of Jesus

on my heart

Words on the Street, God’s Friday, March 2024

in the skipping step of a child Christ’s light

welcoming everyone

with open arms

the Lord’s embrace

Words on the Street, Easter Sunday, March 2024

undulating shadows

ripple the rockface

low tide

river’s bend

two moons

settling in

Chrysanthemum, Issue #32, February 2024

quarter moon

all I can see of you

from here

                           Wales Haiku Journal, Winter 2023/2024

crepuscular light…

roe deer

knee-deep in powder

                             Haiku Canada Review, February 2024

snow nearly covers

the salt marsh stubble …

granddad’s chin

all you are

to me

hyacinth dusk

                           Failed Haiku, Issue #98

full

of red geraniums—

the one-armed wheelbarrow

Modern Haiku, 55:1, Winter 2023

sun-warmed pond

the last swim

of the season

Failed Haiku, Issue #96

Our greatest purpose in life is two-fold: to love one another and to help others in need.
