Here are my poems published in Fireflies' Light:
SENRYU
biscuit crumbs
between the couch cushions . . .
forgotten lies
sour milk
too late to say
I'm sorry
honeymoon
releasing the butterfly
in my obi
park walk
in Valentine t-shirts
my dog and I
HAIKU
before sundown
the fiery glow
of a waterfall
cherry blossoms
the way my dog and I
glance at each other
summer night
swaying to the beat
of calabash maracas
TANKA
cherry petals
float down the river . . .
how I wish
I could tell you
one more time
between seedlings
and unfolding petals . . .
all the waiting
sweetened by the songs
of a nightingale
CHERITA
the last fallen leaf
balances desperately
on another branch
like my final words
hanging recklessly
with yours
enfolding myself
with the scent of wildflowers
I stay in this moment
where everything
sounds better
in my head
