Geppo: The Haiku Work-Study Journal of the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society, Volume XLVII:1, February 2022

November 2021 - January 2022


warmer days
a necklace of snow along
the barbed wire


a squirrel's stash
we cram our lives full
of emptiness


still waiting
for the results . . .
snow moon


laden branches
chickadees displace
a thousand stars


Winter Challenge Kigo: Snow, yuki


falling snow
mother swaddles
her baby doll


Honoured to know that "still waiting" was included among the favourites of Dojin Patricia J. Machmiller!

Shamrock Haiku Journal, Number 48, September 2022

Grateful to have the following four haiku chosen for the final issue of the highly esteemed Shamrock Haiku Journal:


elk rut
the screech of a gate
I didn't fix


dead conifer
a stairway of fungi
to the stars


lock-keeper's pipe
a pelican swallows
the last light


sea-churn
a driftwood bird
takes flight

dented culvert
a bear blocking light

we weave
between tamaracks
following
a bird's song that tugs
at the thread of memory


bushwhacking
through dense sedges
we rest
on flattened beds
made by calving elk

I shade my eyes
for a better look . . .
northern shrike


water-shimmer
the gular fluttering
of a heron


the fault
in my landing gear . . .
mud hens


northern harrier
the high-speed internet
of prairie dogs


plovers
turning with the tides . . .
rust-pocked helm
