prairie spring
a fogbow spans
the coulee
needles of rain
puffballs release
their spores
wavering veils
of snow geese in transit
remind me
of the way life comes
together . . . falls apart
knocking down
these walls between us
we discover
a collection of small,
imperfect skeletons
a dolphin
found on Jupiter
just when
I thought that life
had lost its magic
note: this issue also contains my commentaries as judge of the 2018 British Haiku Society Awards for tanka
Welcome to this archive of my published poetry, photography and art. Thank you for allowing me to share my creative passions with you, and for taking the time to visit.

I unfold my origami self / and swim into a lake of fire / washing my hair in ashes / the crane-legged words / of a thousand burning poems.
