looking at trees
I remember prayers
of friends
Published first here at Poems From Psalms And Nature on May 16, 2012.
Karl and I reprinted the poem in Quiet Christmas Poetry (2014).
Then my haiku was reprinted in this book:
The Helping Hand Haiku Anthology (Including Senryu, Tanka, and Haiga). Edited by Robert Epstein (2020, Middle Island Press).
I am grateful to see how a poem can last, be read again, and shared in new ways.
roses in the sun
some ending
some beginning
and some in full bloom
good to grow older

Members’ Anthologies from the Haiku Society of America:
I created a Page (filed under MENU) to keep a record of my recent haiku published in these books. There is a different editor for each anthology, as noted on my Page.
If you wish to read, the title of my Page, here on Poems From Psalms And Nature, is Haiku Society of America Members’ Anthologies.
The Haiku Society of America site is the online resource for their organization.
Thank you to all. Next post will be from Psalm 118.
