  • VSANA – June

    Happy to share my 2 senryu poems published on the website of VSANA (Viewing Stones of North America). Grateful to dear Thomas Elias, for the acceptance and publication. 

    The stone for June was the Senshu Pot stone. These stones (Tsubo-ishi) are round or nearly round concretions with a hole suggesting a thick-walled pot. They are found in the Wakayama mountain range overlooking the Osaka Plain. When they are dug from the earth, they are covered with red soil that must be removed with a wire brush.

  • VSANA

    Happy to share my 3 tanka poems published on the website of VSANA (Viewing Stones of North America). Grateful to dear Thomas Elias, for the acceptance and publication.

    The stone for May was -“The Thinker” this stone was found on a rocky beach on the Southeast Coast of Puerto Rico, near Maunabo, about 10 years ago. The stone could have several interpretations. It strongly evokes an image of Auguste Rodin’s celebrated statue in Paris.

    Congratulations to all featured poets.
