crushing
juniper berries between
our fingers
the scent of gin conjures
unwelcome memories
this world
is unsafe for innocents . . .

shakes its tail feathers
once, twice, three times

Haiku Canada: Marianne Bluger Awards, 2026
Thrilled to receive joint 1st Place in the 2026 Marianne Bluger Book Awards for Random Blue Sparks! My thanks to the judges.
Judging Commentary:
We were looking for haiku and related forms that ring true; a book or chapbook that demonstrates coherence and flow; and a book design that enhances the poet's work. A tall order, as all of these features work together to engage a reader.
—Terry Ann Carter and Philomene Kocher

whipping the snowbanks
into a frenzy . . .
our dog burrows deeper
into her fireside dreams
