ALT Me, holding a copy of Haiku for Soulmates, in my very red dining room. A beautiful painting of a Japanese woman in a floral kimono graces the cover.
ALT The book ‘In the Blueprint of Her Iris’ with poems by Vikki C. and art by Robert Frede Kenner sits amidst pine tree boughs and lights. Two small Christmas tree balls, on red, one gold, hang next to it.
ALT A sea of clouds, some almost black, glow orange in the sunset.
ALT Ars Poetica: Whitby Abbey, late autumn I begin with what I cannot lose. Detail carefully her trespass. Despite stained-glass, & injury. Despite repetition. We sail into the next ruin, anxious of losing meaning —keep the haloed figure within eye-range. Time elongates—cities constrict, & rain mimics every device in one fell swoop. The guests already know the exits. Archways of sumac, red with refusal —another crack at devotion. Most gaze skyward. I genuflect over century-wet marble. See a swallow angling the world, as the others close their eyes —& aim. Vikki C.

ALT Me, standing in an apple orchard holding "Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku." The lovely artwork on the cover is by Hikari. The sun was right in my eyes, so I'm squinting, but the light was pretty! 😆
