  • Time haiku

    Grateful to dear Diana Webb, Editor for featuring 3 of my haiku in the latest issue of Time Haiku, Issue 57-2023.

    floating cloud…
    the way you came
    in my life

    *

    another sunset
    echoes the silence…
    old age home

    *

    winter starlight
    a white egret
    holds the sky

    Congratulations to all featured poets in the journal.

  • failed haiku

    failed haiku – a journal of English Senryū, issue 86 is here.

    Grateful to Michael Henry Lee, Guest Editor & Bryan Rickert, Editor for featuring my Senryū on the theme of “Time”.

    The acceptance mail by Michael was very motivating for me. He stated, “I chose this one because it was unexpected. The theme of time is subtly expressed. Insomnia is like being stuck in time that drags on endlessly. The dog however is totally unaffected, being in the perfect now.”

    Congratulations to all featured poets in the bumper issue.
