I
was going through some old papers and found a haiku and a tanka that I wrote at
an Indiana Writers’ Consortium workshop held at Gabis Arboretum on June 8,
2018. Since they were just on a handwritten sheet, I thought I’d preserve them
here.
Haiku:
Blue heron
flying
Green stagnant
waters below
Blue heron swimming
Tanka:
Fairies dance
about
Unseen among
their houses
Hiding from
the eyes
Of curious
school children
Who still
believe in fairies

I don’t have a photo of a
blue heron, but the one at the top of this post shows a juvenile yellow-crowned
heron that I saw in Costa Rica earlier this year.
