It has been very long since I sent in a submission. But failed haiku had a new submissions calendar, and I was running around a bit less stressed. So here are some senryu that made it into the journal. Check out the other poems in this lovely journal here: failed haiku
For a wee memory of home:
wisps of curry steam
familiar flavors
lead me home
And this for those times:
as her grief
finally bursts through
Vesuvius
More than the poems, I was stoked to have my little haiga on the cover page of the journal! So thrilled beyond words. Here’s the ku that goes with it:
tsunami
yet the void peeks through
my emotions
That’s what I feel like, at times. So much happening around, and yet we walk around with a little bit of strange nothingness seeking some hope.
