MoonInk Tanka Poetry Anthology, 2020

as if I were
this ash-filled burl,
black veins
of decay winding through
my body like a river

Commended
Climate Change: The Burning Issue Tanka Contest, 2020


between the spokes
of your spinning wheel
a dusty web . . .
I never thought our lives
would so quickly unwind

the ocean
was in a rage last night
but today,
these peace offerings
of blue mussels and kelp

Sanford Goldstein Int'l Tanka Competition, 2018


the growth rings
of otoliths and trees . . .
when did she
become smaller
than her daughters

2nd Place
Fleeting Words Tanka Competition, 2017


dried curls
of gray reindeer moss
crunch softly
underneath our boots . . .
no other sound, but breath
