Long Time No Posts

I’ve completely lost track of time. The last time I posted here was in 2017! I guess I got caught up in all sorts of other life things. I intend to resume posting now. Sorry for the hiatus. I’ll start with a present publication and work backwards. Thanks for anyone who followed me earlier!

Haibun Posted at Rattle today, 6/2/17

Thanks to *Rattle* for posting my haibun “Night Howls” today. Many a night during the years Bill and I lived in Santa Fe, we were awakened by this man yelling at and abusing his dog. We were really upset by it! He lived on a hill on the other side of a big ravine behind our house. We called the police on him at one point, but I don’t know that it made any difference.
