evening tea
the truth of Aesop’s fables
swirling in my mind

#haiku #haiga #gratitude

Last evening’s tea bag tag brought to mind the small yet significant ways in which the Bluesky community lift one another.
Thank you all so much 🙏🏼✨🤎

Deeply honored to have both a #Haiku and a #Senryu included in Issue 40 of #FemkuMag. Every poem in this issue is truly stunning. Thanks so much to Editors Rowan Beckett Minor and Kelly Sargent for including mine.

Rockford Haiku from the weekly haiku hike I've taken with Ryan Davis for six years always starting in the heart of downtown Rockford. This is a photo of the historic Faust Landmark Hotel and my haiku.
