brass bell
Many thanks to Zee Zahava for including two of my poems in the October 2017 issue of brass bell:
morning snow
she places her footprints
in mine
shelter from the storm
my hands make
shadow puppets
flower seller
One haiku of mine appears in the print edition of hedgerow #120:
flower seller
she turns to face
the sun
(‘Flower Seller’ by Eugene de Blaas, 1943-1932)

Tanabata
I am very grateful to Eufemia Griffo for hosting a haiku celebration of the Japanese star festival known as Tanabata on her wonderful blog Memorie Di Una Geisha.
Three of my poems were including for this day:
the courtship
of mayflies

all that
I have become
clouds and water

starlight
wondering what else
I have forgotten

All the things
Published in hedgerow #118 (June 2017):
all the things
I should have said
summer rain
