I turn and watch
the moon watch me

Three haiku were also published in Presence, Issue #62, 2018:
1.
dreams lost in dreams wild poppies

“Snow” by gookingsword (Pixabay)
deep in winter
abandoned nests
and forgotten songs

waking from a dream
the night winds
unsettle the moon

It is always an honor to appear in Pamela A. Babusci’s Moonbathing, a Journal of Women’s Tanka. The high level of quality tanka in this bi-annual journal by some of the best women writers of tanka make it a journal to read again and again.

your dark self—
that side
hidden
away like
a new moon
One of my very favorite poetry journals, hedgerow, a journal of small poems, published this haiku in their print issue #122. Isn’t the cover picture gorgeous?
new year moon—
looking backward
looking forward
My thanks to Caroline Skanne, the poet/editor behind this lovely journal.
This is #3 of the three photo haiga published in the March issue of faileD haikU, a Journal of English Senryu, Volume 1, Issue 3, edited by Michael Rehling. A bit of nursery rhyme whimsy in this one.
Note: this beautiful photo is in the public domain free use category. The senryu is by Mary Kendall.

how could the moon
show its face
without light
…how could the stars
sing us songs?
