My own tanka sequence in English and Tagalog translation published in the first issue of Ephemerae.
Make the universe your companion, always bearing in mind the true nature of things—mountains and rivers, trees and grasses, and humanity—and enjoy the falling blossoms and the scattering leaves. ~Bashō

Heart Breaths
Grateful that 11 of my haiku are included in Heart Breaths: Book of Contemporary Haiku. Available to purchase here .
cloud break . . .
a fledgling peeks out
of a cracked shell
***
spring dawn . . .
a baby robin's trill
warms the sunlight
***
tumbling leaves . . .
I drift where grief
takes me today
***
tracing the cracks
on his leather chair . . .
death anniversary
***
this feeling of knowing
you were already gone . . .
murmur of stars
***
spring buds
his pinky finger
slips into mine
***
banjo strings
the night he plucks
the stars
***
fall morning
a lily laps up
a ray of sunshine
***
sunlight slides
from the mountain top . . .
a seagull's call
***
winter dawn
the cry of a hawk
piercing the fog
***
empty sea . . .
in a fisherman's boat
a bucketful of stars
a fledgling peeks out
of a cracked shell
***
spring dawn . . .
a baby robin's trill
warms the sunlight
***
tumbling leaves . . .
I drift where grief
takes me today
***
tracing the cracks
on his leather chair . . .
death anniversary
***
this feeling of knowing
you were already gone . . .
murmur of stars
***
spring buds
his pinky finger
slips into mine
***
banjo strings
the night he plucks
the stars
***
fall morning
a lily laps up
a ray of sunshine
***
sunlight slides
from the mountain top . . .
a seagull's call
***
winter dawn
the cry of a hawk
piercing the fog
***
empty sea . . .
in a fisherman's boat
a bucketful of stars
