  • Free-style Friday 9/8/17 …on moments of clarity after anger…#tankaprose #tanka #haibun

    Anger Management   We drive North on I-95 toward Worcester. Mira asks about Mom’s history of dependency. She still tries to get her mind around addiction. Leaves have already changed.

The flutter of wings heralds the arrival of my black-garbed guests. Sparrows pick at fallen crumbs, but the lion’s share will go to the jackdaws.

  • Monoku Monday 9/4/17…Revisiting the Harshness…#haiku #haibun #monoku

    In Harshness In the crunch of fiberglass, a shattered mirror dangling on a wire. In the biting words of a text-message slap, the piercing cold stare of an evaluator’s review. In every word and action taken or not. In every inch of fallen snow power-thrown before sunrise.   Not only in rippling lakes cold sunset…
