Some of my recently published monoku, haiku, senryu, and tanka ...
the distinct scent
of cedar and incense...
another hospital chapel
nine-patch
hemming family lore
in each patch
renewed vows
dried rosebuds spilling over
the tattered basket
young & old hands
kneading dough...
braided stories
Failed Haiku, Issue #109, May 2025
his Sunday drives
always the journey
never the destination
cattails: a journal of small poetry, May 2025
rabbit holes...
falling headlong into
another story
last migration
leaving behind a smattering
of feathers
Poetry Pea, May 2025
frozen wetlands
standing on the edge
of myself
Sense & Sensibility, May 2025
my doll's tea set
crushed between floorboards
sibling rivalry
tea all the time it takes, Tea Anthology, April 2025
morningbright
when whispers grow
into praise song
a skull-shaped hill—
piercing darkness fills
the cavernous hours
no stars
to distract their gaze
a wailing wind builds
Word on the Street, Easter 2025
a riot of color...
blues swooping through
sunset and clouds
Nor’easter News, April 2025
pebbled shore …
each stone cast
tells another story
Nor’easter News, March 2025
a wailing wind swollen with grackles scattered thoughts
Wales Haiku Journal, Spring 2025
soft rainfall
baby hummingbirds huddle
in a tulip's bowl

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