Literary Revelations Press, Anthology, Haiku for Soulmates

I’m very pleased to share that Literary Revelations Press has accepted five of my haiku for publication in their new anthology, Haiku for Soulmates, edited by Gabriela Marie Milton. A lovely surprise, and a moment worth celebrating.

Not one of the selected five — just a fresh haiku to mark the moment.





Birds of a Feather (a Haiku)

The black and white birds
Fly happily together
A wing span apart





A favourite song to accompany the moment

Our Cafe to the Rescue (a Haiku)

It’s time to relax
And recoup our composure
A place without hooks

Kissed by Daylight (a Haiku)

Today’s WordPress Prompt

Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

“The day’s first glow beckons me to pause, to notice, and to appreciate everything that unfolds.”




Kissed by Daylight (a Haiku)


Out of the darkness
The sun’s glow caresses my eyes
Daylight kisses my world

Throwback Friday, Beyond Sight (a Haiku)


Today’s Throwback Friday poem (originally written in August 2025) is drawn from my upcoming book, Time Hears No Sound. It appears as the first poem in the Haiku section of Chapter 10, Time’s Short Poems: Haiku, Tanka, etc.



Beyond Sight (a Haiku)

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