prairie town
rusted rails lead us
into sunrise
this guitar
handed down to me
still bears
the fingerprints of songs
I know by heart
I ramble
along whin-covered cliffs
s e a r c h i n g
for the perfect stone
to add to your cairn
Note: This issue also contains the results and commentaries for the 2019 British Haiku Society Awards, which may be accessed under The British Haiku Society tag on this blog. I was thrilled to receive four awards in the annual tanka contest! My thanks to judges an'ya and Gregory Longenecker.
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.
