#Throwdown Thursday 11/8/17…my latest is up: Meltdown – #Haibun #poetry .@ImageCurve
Meltdown I’m administering a Level I Vocational Assessment to Ana, when Julian bursts into the room, He throws something that misses Myru and hits the metal cabinet housing our class’ books and folders. He drops into a worn desk. His fists repeatedly pound the surface, before opening and clasping the back of his…

Animus: a #MonokuMonday (10/16/2017) water #haibun for #dversepoets #HaibunMonday and #withrealtoads (5/31/18)

By the Waterfall: A #Throw-down Thursday (9/7/17) #haibun featuring my latest from @.ImageCurve
We take our first hike of this season on the Pine Meadow trail. Soon, we diverge onto the yellow-marked trail at the first junction. The clouds of early morning break apart. The sun pierces every gap in the Maple and Douglas Fir canopy. We reach the waterfall, just past the rock scramble along the…

Way-back Wednesday 8/9/17: …a grandmother the morning after… #haibun #haiku #poetry
The Morning After Her cup of Columbian Supremo cools atop of a crumpled copy of the Journal News, spread over the kitchen table like leaves across the lawn.
