tsuri-dōrō, 2023

cocooned
in family rituals
her free will

nostalgia
the walnut door bangs
back and forth

tiger lily
life after
#metoo

late-night train
the mother’s lullaby
for everyone

forced marriage …
her wedding dress wrapped
in the old newspaper

Selected as a Featured Poet with these five haiku.

Published in Issue #18 – Nov/Dec 2023, tsuri-dōrō – a small journal of haiku and senryū

snowflakes 

in her cupped hands 

war memory --- self-healing 

burning to the end 

a sandal incense

custody battle 

stuck in the fence 

an apple core 

** 

sky’s edge my blues get bluer

#feminism
a flock of sparrows stir
the fata morgana

hitting hard
his last words…
cloudburst

lake at dusk
the oars push back
its silence
