A Blackbird Sings

     Finally, I received a pdf copy of A Blackbird Sings, the 2nd anthology of small stones edited by Kaspalita and Fiona Robyn. I'm so pleased because among my five small stones that were published last year in A Handful of Stones, two were chosen to be included in this anthology.

     I'm also honored because in it are works of some of the poets I've met in the haiku community - Sanjuktaa Asopa, Johannes S. H. Berg, Kirsten Cliff, Aubrie Cox, Kat Creighton, Terri Hale French, Stella Pierides, Christina Nguyen, Pravat Kumar Padhy, Alan Summers, and Kathy Uyen Nguyen.

     I encourage you to read more about A Blackbird Sings by clicking here and to join the first ever Mindful Writing Day on November 1. On that day, a Kindle edition of the anthology will be free to download and 5 paperback copies will be given away. For more details, click

Christmas Stocking

     I'm still up at 2:30 am, still giddy from the excitement of receiving Christmas cards and unwrapping Christmas presents. It feels so good to feel like a child again, even for just one day.
