One Single Impression and News

The prompt at One Single Impression this week: “copse”.  We are facing another heat wave this week.

Copse

meditation morning
below gnarly oak branches
-escape from heat

News: My poem, “Nirvana” is published on-line at Four and Twenty: A Short Form Poetry Journal.  Click on the shirts, p. 22.  

Another poem will be featured on Sept 1.  I have weekly poetry prompts to thank for planting the seed of each poem as well as my writing group for their feedback in revision.

One Single Impression: Ocean

“Ocean” is the prompt from Sweetest in the Gale (formerly Fledgling Poet) at One Single Impression. 

Seaside, Oregon 2009

I have been reading Jane Reichhold’s Writing and Enjoying Haiku this summer.  It’s been my summer book study over at “Check It Out”.  Just so happens that I revised this haiku originally posted in 2007.

foamy ocean waves
lace pattern on wet sand
crab scuttles alone

Revision 1:

ocean crochet
solitary crab scuttles
ebb tide remnant

Revision 2:

solitary crab scuttles
over foamy crochet
ebb tide remnant
