Bits & Pieces
I had three haiku published in issue #61 of hedgerow, a journal of small poems last week.
old nest box…
a flurry of blue birds
before the snow
(hedgerow #61)
roasted chestnuts–
how could I forget
your laughter?
(hedgerow #61)
.
my dog leaps
into still night water
to fetch the moon
(hedgerow #61)
Dream Time 2
This tanka art piece is the second in my Dream Time series of poems. To read the first poem in the series (on this blog), follow this link:
As you’ll notice the two poems are quite different in style and content, but I’ve grouped them together in Dream Time since both were written while poised on that slender edge of dreaming into another time and place.
A Special Word of Thanks:
A big thank you to my dear husband, Ritchie D. Kendall, who took this photograph on a hill in Greenwich in 2013 when we were living in London.

Small Poems for a Cold Winter Day
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
Migraine (haiga)

Charlotte’s Story: Haiku for Wilbur by Mary Kendall (ME, IN FICTION Poetry and Prose Series)
Charlotte’s Story: Haiku for Wilbur
by Mary Kendall
“My Words”
my words—
who knew what a story
we’d become?
“First Friend”
a friend—
something my kind
never knew
“The Unexpected”
new friend—
silken parachutes in spring wind
bestow surprises
“Silken Words”
silken words…
hearts woven together
in their own story
“Some Pig”
little did they know
how special you were—
some pig!
“Terrific”
a real friend
who accepted me as I am…
terrific!
“Radiant”
just knowing
you have a good friend…
this radiant heart
“I Told You”
out of nowhere
grows the best thing…
kindness of spirit
“Humble”
humble—
your kindness of heart
my friend
“The Fair”
harvest moon—
who knew how high
we’d fly?
“Templeton”
even a rat
can help a friend..
who knew?
“My Time”
time for rest
my voice a whisper
…alone now
“Good-bye”
no need to worry—
our memories will live on
in your heart
“Death”
