purple heather patches of light here then gone
ghost town
a sand dune
makes itself at home
the things
our headlights miss . . .

snow moon
the last train
to nowhere
tonight
I imagine myself
a tree,
canopy full
of roosting stars

Ribbons, Volume 19, Number 2, Spring/Summer 2023
wax and wane
a tenderness
of snowdrops emerges
every spring
this temptation to fall
in love with you again
dandelion wishes
stolen by furtive winds
when you asked
for your freedom,
I promised to let go
wet cobbles
outside the flower shop
fallen petals
have pasted a rainbow
to this dirty street
Presence, Number 76, July 2023
hilltop gorse
the ears of a hare
of not
late again
the soft tut-tut

the mountains
veiled with aurora
and snow . . .
it was just about here
that I lost my way

foreclosure
a barn spider ties up
loose ends of light

Translated into Chinese by Chen-ou Liu:
angry words
the gossip of gulls
d r i f t i n g
Failed Haiku 7, 2016
Mouth Full of Stones, 2020
Chen-ou Liu's Comments:
L1 sets the tone and mood of the haiku while the cacophonous squawking of gulls in Ls 2&3 not only provides an emotionally and auditorily resonant link-and-shift relationship with L1, but also gives a hint of what caused these angry words/response. And the layout of L3 implies the spread of this gossip...

Honoured to have the following haiga selected by Kala Ramesh for the Haikai Special Feature:
Artist's Statement:
"Moonlight" is one word, but a "long night moon" is the full moon in December near the solstice, and "light pillars are optical phenomena, so they are two separate images. I have written this one-liner to take advantage of dual-reading:
long night / moon light pillars punctuate / the city skyline
long night moon / light pillars punctuate / the city skyline
