just out of town
beside the railway track
this one poppy

Given an ordinary stone . . .
The New Zealand Poetry Society 2013 Anthology, Given an ordinary stone, edited by Owen Bullock, was launched over the weekend in Wellington. You can order your copy here.
The anthology includes the winning poems from the NZPS International Competitions, including the Haiku Junior Section I judged, as well as other poems and haiku selected by the author from the remaining entries.
This year I won 5th Prize in the Open Haiku Section, judged by Nola Borrell, with:
drifting evensong
pine needles cloistered
in fresh snow
This appears in the book, along with my Commended placing:
full morning moon
cows chew their way
through the fog
I look forward to receiving my copy and reading all the poems from 2013! I'm sure it will be an inspiration. :-)

Dark Days
knowing
that haiku
are all around me
but these dark days
I'm just too lost
to find them

Ten Years Tanka

years too late
I've translated the Italian

I await your presence
in Soave soon . .

Mindful Writing Day 2013 -- my small stone
with the weight of the day I find my mind has crumbled
somewhere, the wail of a peacock, the clock's tick
and a dream awaits it's place in my journal
