The sudden way . . .

Posted on September 17, 2017 by Mary Kendall

Blithe Spirit is the Journal of the British Haiku Society. Two of my tanka and one haiku were published in Volume 27, Number 23 (2017). I am most grateful to be part of this issue.

old shoes –
the challenge
of moving on

plum blossoms—
watching you
struggle for so long
I remember how brief
a season is

stopping to study
fritillaries, tulips
and jonquils –
the sudden way
you take my hand

Water haiku (three poems)

Posted on September 4, 2017 by Mary Kendall

The September issue of Brass Bell, curated by Zee Zehava, had a prompt/theme of “water.” I was fortunate to have three haiku selected for publication (two one liners and one traditional three line haiku). I hope you will visit the site for Brass Bell and enjoy all the excellent haiku written to this theme. The link is given below.

her waters broken the beginning of the beginning

what was hidden now emerges water lillies

near the cattails —
two white egrets
lost in reflection
