Presence, 81, arrived. I spent some time on our sunny porch reading it, and it was time well spent. I am honoured and grateful to the incredible editor Ian Stor for selecting one of mine. Best wishes to Ian as he steps down, and congratulations on a successful tenure❤️ #haiku

Mark Gilbert (Tw/X: @ MarkgZero ) has likely been wondering what happened to this #haiku , submitted & selected long ago, but FreshOut has been saving it for today - #EarthDay #poetry #micropoetry #poetrylovers #earth #poetrycommunity #environment #climate #human

One of my favourites is “What’s Left” a rengay by Kimberly Kuchar and C.X. Turner with commentary from John Thompson. A snippet: her smile one slice of orange in her palm thinning hair a mother’s hands weave lullabies The link is sublime!
