Another joy and honor this week–my first time having haiku appear in Brass Bell, a publication that is edited by the incomparable Zee Zehava. This issue was done with International Women’s Day (on March 8) in mind. In the editor’s own words:
I urge you to visit Brass Bell (also here on WordPress) and subscribe to it. Be sure to read the back issues for some excellent poetry.
My three haiku in this issue are below:
If you have a favorite, please do let me know. I’m always curious what readers think or respond to.

Lovely Haiku, Mary. π — Suzanne
Thank you! π
I loved them all, but the first one with its broken pearls really struck me! Beautiful.
I love knowing that, Robin. π
‘barren lilac…’ is my favourite, congratulations on all your recently published poems Mary
That’s my favorite, too. Thanks for your kind and generous comments.
Lovely! Can you direct me to a book or an article that instructs on these non traditional forms of haiku you use so well? Thank you
Begin by going to “Graceguts” which has some amazing articles. On Facebook ask to join Virtual Haiku. A whole new world awaits. π
Thank you. I’ve joined virtual haiku, more later
Wonderful! π€
