Tsuri-doro: A Small Journal of Haiku and Senryu, Issue #19, January/February 2024
three hands
on her belly . . .
moonquake
United Haiku and Tanka Society, Songbirds Sedoka Online Journal, Premier Edition, 2023
dawn flushes
across the pale cheeks
of this winter sky
we wonder
if you will make it
through another night
Editor's Choice
Commentary by the editor, an'ya:
A very visually descriptive sedoka by Debbie Strange that utilizes nature in the first tercet and deepens to a human emotion in the second tercet. Her juxtaposition is outstanding, as we see the pale cheeks of that winter sky in the person who may not make it through another night. Debbie also has so easily managed a perfect 3/5/5 rhythm in both verses.

silhouettes
becoming conifers . . .
foreglow
sculpted dunes
everything that shapes
a life
Presence, Number 77, November 2023
the day slips
through our fingers . . .

prognosis
the waterfall blown
off course
wool waulkers . . .
Hebridean rhythms
still beating
in the frayed fingertips
of great-grandma's gloves
