In my last posting here, I put up a new haiga that was just published in cattails, January 2016, the journal of the United Haiku and Tanka Society, but I was really very fortunate this time round in having three other poems published in the same issue: a haiku, a senryu, and a tanka.

cattails, January 2016, haiku, p. 8:

winter—
each day closing in
on itself

cattails, January 2016, tanka, p. 4:

chased away
by a gang of crows
the red-tailed hawk—
being different
is never easy

cattails, January 2016, senryu, p. 9:

black Friday—
the vultures circle
round and round
