Am stoked to share my debut in LEAF! (At the link here)
This issue is gorgeous, and I swallowed it up in one gulp. Beautiful work by so many haikuists of the world, I am honored to be standing among them. I hope you read, comment and most of all, enjoy some beautiful haiku/senryu.
As I read the issue today, the wind was rocking our chimes nonstop in the background. The sun was shining down happily and my friends, the kid, and I had just finished prepping my wildflower patch in the yard.
My eye catches my friend Wendy Houser Blomseth’s poem from the issue of Leaf:
sorting seeds
the gardener dreams of
bee-filled blossoms
the gardener dreams of
bee-filled blossoms
The world is indeed better with poetry!
Here are mine from the issue:
the crisp
of frost edged grass
maracas
of frost edged grass
maracas
and
winter sun
the shadows cast
by past sins
the shadows cast
by past sins
