So honored and blessed to be the featured artist of Haiku Page! I didn't know that I will be having my own section with all these poems with alcohol ink art below. John Zheng sent me the pdf and I was blown away. :-) Soon you will be able to view the full issue on the The Haiku Foundation digital library here.

Second Issue of Hedgerow Poetry Journal

     So delighted that my tanka sequence and haiga are appearing in the second issue of Hedgerow. Thank you, sweet Caroline, for featuring me among 12 other poets! It is a wonderful collection of poetry and artwork.  

 

     My untitled tanka sequence and haiga:

 

eternally lost
in a garden maze
I search for you
in places I need you
most

 

will I ever be loved
the same way as before
the willow hedges
of where we’ve been
still longs for you

 

entrenched
in my lonely heart
memories
like dandelions
full of wishes

 

before the day ends
counting morning glories
I have to accept
my life the way it is
without you

Everybody Hurts Sometimes

I walk alone

on the garden path

missing you . . .

everybody hurts sometimes

even withering petals

Written for Carry on Tuesday #163

A line repeated several times in REM's biggest hit record
