Beyond Sight (a Haiku)



Today, I became a 74-year-old plumber, and when I came home, I tried to be a 74-year-old poet, with a “Blue Screen Computer”. Without going into the gory details, I had a lot more fun being a 74-year-old plumber.




Beyond Sight (a Haiku)


Good morning sunrise
I soak in daylight’s caress
Until eyes hear sound

Winter Sun (a Haiku)






Winter Sun (a Haiku)

Serendipitous
Winter sun, brightens the sky
And the setting moon

“This’s the life”, my friend.
“Green pastures and a palace
to rest our heads in”

A Cloud (a Haiku)


One white fluffy cloud
Mothering the dying tree
With a cotton crown

Hope (a Haiku)

I see peace and love
Here, on the wings of the dove
Where hope never dies

Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku

Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku, Releasing After Easter

I’m delighted to be part of the ensemble of poets featured in Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku, published by Literary Revelations Publishing House. This beautifully curated collection brings together the voices of over 240 haiku poets from around the world.

The anthology features stunning cover art by renowned Japanese painter Hikari and fine-art photography by acclaimed artist Naoki Kimura. Tranquility will be released soon after Easter—stay tuned!

Blurb:

Following the overwhelming success of «Petals of Haiku,» which captured hearts and souls and became an Amazon bestseller, Literary Revelations Publishing House brings you “Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku.” This new anthology will enchant the readers with its delicate imagery and transitory moments, which inscribe themselves in eternity. Featuring nearly 240 talented authors, each bringing their talent and unique perspectives, Tranquility invites you to immerse yourself in a world where night flowers bloom and whispers linger in the spring air.

Poets are prophets linked to nature. In Tranquility, Haiku is their language.  – Gabriela Marie Milton, author, editor, publisher

Here is one of my Haiku from the Tranquility Anthology:




Angel 

My tranquillity
Has wings and glides in heaven
Free like an angel
