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.

frost moon

I stare at another

candy wrapper

waiting for a sugar high

to fill my emptiness

stardust

on New Year's eve . . .

our hope

shining even brighter

with every kiss

sunlight streaming

through the kitchen window . . .

as I wash the dishes

how you smile at me

is all I can imagine
