  • VSANA – Home Stone

    VSANA featured this Home stone last month—an attractive hut stone with a natural aged appearance, collected several years ago in the Yuha Desert in extreme southeastern California near the borders of Arizona and Mexico.

    Grateful to Tom Elias, Editor for publishing both my #tanka and a #senryu on their website.

  • VSANA

    Happy to share my3 #tanka published in #VSANA—Viewing Stone Association of North America on September 1, 2025. These are in response to Buddha’s Stone—Fossil coral has long been recognized and collected in China for its aesthetic qualities.

    Grateful to dear Tom Elias, Editor, VSANA who says, “When I displayed this piece in an upright position, it reminded me of another symbolic Buddhist hand gesture—the Vitarka Mudra.”

    Congratulations to all fellow poets featured.

    The insightful and beautiful comments by dear Hifsa Ashraf made my day. Congratulations to Elliot Diamond and Jennifer Gurney whose haiku are also featured.
