Two of my haiku below are included in Haiku 21.2, a new anthology that presents examples of the best haiku being written in the second decade of the 21st century as Haiku 21 presented the first. It is edited by Lee Gurga and Scott Metz and published by Modern Haiku Press.
I
remarried
the taste of pinot noir
left open overnight
Frogpond, 40:3, Fall 2017
And my free verse below could be read as its prequel:
Pickled Sorrow
I slice my sorrow,
pickle the cutlets,
and closet them in a jar.
When hungry,
I'll have a slice
with pinot noir.
II
a white lie
to cover another
early snowfall
Failed Haiku, 5:58, October 2020
jar of rain: The Red Moon Anthology of English-Language Haiku 2020
Haiku 2021
Commentary: Like the falling snow, white lies are pleasing to the senses, but too much of each may do more harm than good. This deceptively simple haiku seems like a cautionary tale, reminding readers to watch their words, even if well intended...
review of
jar of rain by Joanne Morcom
And my haiku below could be read as its prequel:
snow drifting ...
all her colorful words
about love
