the headlong rush
to colour
Check out this video: “How I found my voice: A new Resonance Community Reading” from the Haiku North America Conference 2019. From Jim Kacian and Julie Warthers’s presentation on this Community of poets, including members reading out their work. Julie read out haiku by members not able to attend.
My own poem was read out, too:
atlas
the weight
of my dreams
The video was featured as part of this year’s Fundraiser running from Thanksgiving to St. Nicholas’s Day.

stepping into
the same puddle twice . . .
new pair of boots
clinging
to the surface of things ...

Wet-felted beret drying!
sunny day
tasting
togetherness
empty snail shell—
swishing sound of
the garden broom
Wet-felted headband
ripples
the felted fish enters
Groom Lake
history maps
the shape and depth
of face lines
harvest moon—
on the windowsill a bowl
catching the light
not finding
the right words …
falling darkness
the long walk
towards the sea ...
Cley salt marsh
whether
I am here or not
returning tide
maple leaves
the stillness of rusting
metal

so many tourists taking
selfies
clinking glasses
this year too the apple tree
bearing fruit

leaves start to fall …
how to lighten
the load

slate-coloured dawn
the frolics of freshly shorn
sheep
landwards—
the tide turns in
our favor
thermal current
a stork glides over
the meadow

how many heart beats
in a lifetime
who is to say
this flower is not it …
failed star
chaos and order …
the butterfly flaps
its wings
early dark
this need to explain
the meaning of life
distant train …
as if I had
the answer
