  • A Spectral Remnant: A #writephoto #haibun

      The mists part to reveal the ruin again. Roofless; empty arches once filled with stainglass; choked by the encroaching trees and consumed by the downy grasses of the Moors.   What transpired here?   Did banished queens live out their exiles here?

  • Amid the Clutter: A #FreestyleFriday (8/31/2018) .@ImageCurve #haibun

      Thick reams of paper everywhere. The folders on my desk organizer bulge out with them. I can’t see the top of my desk. Jaime has no room for her piles. Even our circular conference table, tucked in the corner of the narrow office, has manila folders, crumpled worksheets, parental rights documents spread all over.…
