Wind in the Reeds

The autumn kigo 'wind in the reeds' Sketchbook kukai results are now out - view them here. Congratulations to my writing buddy Cara Holman for her 2nd place win - that's the haiku I gave my top points to! Here are my efforts for what was my first Sketchbook kukai:


wind in the reeds
laying out tarot cards
by candlelight



I always used to
get the wishbone
wind in the reeds



wind in the reeds I dare you to love

This One Wish


for today
I have this one wish
not to feel
like I'll always carry
that scared little girl
