morning comes
unbidden at my window
noise and keen light…
sometimes I wish
for a mute button

I was not lonely
with the snow-capped heron
as my company;
but when my lover returned
the silence was desolate

Thanks to editor @dkarlbrandt.bsky.social for including me in this week's musical haiku selection (see attached - apologies for the missing apostrophe - my fault). I enjoyed immersing myself in this week's superb musical prompt: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmRP...

winter is coming
tents of the displaced
drowned in tears
even city cellars breathe with
children’s screams

shaken out of

I try to hide
my deep wound
it gains momentum

By making us stop for a moment, poetry gives us an opportunity to think about ourselves as human beings on this planet and what we mean to each other.

Delighted to share my Tanka in Ribbons, Fall/Winter issue 2025 the Journal of Tanka Society of America

restoring an old nest
an honest day's work
I will change my address
so you can't find me again
