Hi my friends and family. I went to Hawaii in August and never came back. Now back as fall brings light rain into my garden. The grasses all dead and brown. So I finally decided to put in fake grass and stones to preserve our future water source.

Anyway…I’ve got a few things published in the summer so posting them all today. Two tanka, one haibun a tanka response and a rengay. (won’t be posting the rengay but happy it was selected) Starting with the two tanka published in Britain, the habibun from Ireland and last the Tanka Response — Floating on Air–from my favorite place Better than Starbucks, USA will be on a separate post.

ocean waves
move with my breath
toes curl in wet sand
nothing in between
just heaven and earth

inside me
a tsunami crashing
white rabbits
frolicking on the waves
nothing is solid
