In the November, 2017 issue of Blithe Spirit, the Journal of the British Haiku Society, these tanka and haiku were published. All poems are (c) 2017 Mary Kendall.

Queen’s dollhouse—
we examine the tiny rooms
in barely a whisper

crowning—
the full moon pushes
through fog

his fingerprint
left under a cup
he made
her only way
to hold on

the slow uncurling
of the fiddleheads
one by one
learning to let go
is never easy
