Blog: Whispers of the Soul
crawling through the weight a baby snail
new moon
mother's story remains
half-told
Presence, Issue #68, November 2020
rain bath
shedding the dust
a peacock's cry
night of longing . . .
one cicada serenades
the forest
Presence, issue #71, December 2021
autumn dusk . . .
only my shadow
walks with me
fading light
makes gourds glow
harvest moon
north wind
trying to forget
mother's lullaby
hedgerow, #136, December 2021
last train home . . .
the fishmonger’s basket
filled with potatoes
Frogpond, issue #45:1, Winter 2022
paddy field—
silhouettes still bent
at day’s end
tsuri-dōrō, #7 Jan/Feb 2022
grasshopper
are you alone too
this autumn eve
The Cicada's Cry, Autumn 2021
fading twilight
Basho's crow still perched
on a bare branch
kingfisher
a moment's reflection
in the river
Modern Haiku, #53.1, February 2022
sleepless too . . .
a katydid somewhere
in the darkness
flowing river . . .
I so wish to be a fish
among the fish
autumn dusk
an old friend's hand
in mine
autumn breeze
ruffles the reeds . . .
almost birdsong
bird feeder —
a chickadee's beak
laced with snow
