Haiku Page edited by John Zheng

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.

Sonic Boom Issue Nine (August 2017)

     I don't always remember to submit to Sonic Boom, but whenever I do, I keep my fingers crossed that editor Shloka Shankar would accept at least one of my works. For the most current issue, I have two acceptances, one of which is my very first media art entitled "Wine Moon." I used some cutout pictures, small bottle, shells, net, glitters, distress spray stain, modeling paste, and other media art products. For the finishing touch, I added some digital effects. 

     Anyone can read the current issue here. 

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

Balmy Evening

 

balmy evening

the whisper of her ashes

from the sea
