Deeply honored to have both a #Haiku and a #Senryu included in Issue 40 of #FemkuMag. Every poem in this issue is truly stunning. Thanks so much to Editors Rowan Beckett Minor and Kelly Sargent for including mine.

the park maple fades
our children run, collect small
reminders of life -

the wind as crossing guard here,
small leaves scurrying up road
