one by one trying
hard to make amends,
I separate fine strands
of webs I’ve made
to hide my mistakes

a nagging thought
just won’t let go

I am blessed with another haiku published in a favorite journal I love to read: hedgerow: a journal of small poems, issue # 132
September roses
the stone wall
hidden between us

Both tanka by Mary Kendall
Two haiku and one tanka in Kokako 29, 2018, a journal of the New Zealand Poetry Society:
where the house
once stood
only cherry blossoms
billowing fog
the burden of keeping
your secret
rosé bottle
the forgiving vagueness
of frosted glass
the morning
after

Note: Published by poet and artist, Pamela L. Babusci, Moonbathing is a journal of women’s tanka.
