Bio Note: Whether it be through the construction of a six-word-story, three simple lines, or seventeen syllables, the art of brevity intrigues me. William Shakespeare said, “Sometimes, less is more,” and Bruce Lee declared, “Simplicity is the key to brilliance.” (Who knew these two guys had so much in common?) I want to give readers those satisfying slight-smile-with-a-little-nod moments through my recently released collection of haiku and senryu poems entitled Bookmarks, published by Red Moon Press (available exclusively at www.redmoonpress.com).

mud season again —
the crow’s feet
a little deeper

morning tea
last night’s dream
at the bottom of the cup

wearing mom’s sweater
her arms
around me again
