I am reading A Moment’s Longing, Haiku Society of America Members’ Anthology 2019. Tanya McDonald served as our Editor this year. Please visit the Haiku Society of America for more information.
My poem in the book:
one red tulip
blooms in the hosta border
time alone with God
Another new book I am reading this year is Walking the Fence: Selected Tanka of Randy Brooks (2019, Brooks Books; Taylorville, Illinois). Please visit Brooks Books Haiku for more information.

The September 2019 issue of The Heron’s Nest is online.
I am also reading the Heron’s Nest Annual Edition for 2018. This is a print book. Please see their Order page for more information.
You are welcome to reprint my poems with proper credit. Ideas include bulletin boards in classrooms, libraries, hospitals, nursing homes – places where a short poem may be an encouragement to someone or help with a poetry lesson. Thank you.
summer
early sun fills
a bouquet of flowers
summer sun
thrift store bowl painted
with leaves and fruit
Friday morning
fresh water
for the daisies
Saturday morning
so happy with the plants
we bought on sale
early Sunday
raindrops in some light
on evergreen branches
early morning
hosta flowers grow
above the windowsill
peaceful morning
a prayer from childhood
still with me
