apple blossoms
the way they cup
the light
strawberry season
our turtle smacks
its red lips
an array of stars
splayed out across
the desert sky . . .
we decide to sleep
without a tent tonight
Note: This issue also contains the results and commentaries for the 2023 British Haiku Society Awards which can be accessed under the British Haiku Society tag on this blog. I was thrilled to receive Runner-up and Honourable Mention for the same tanka. My thanks to the judges, David Terelinck and Bryan Rickert.
