A huge thank you to Tree Rivers for hosting the Little Iris Haiku Contest! Back in 2022, I got the grand prize for this haiku on the theme of crude oil!

It was my joy, honor, and privilege to receive the Grand Prize in the Maya Lyubenova International Haiku Contest earlier this year. Maya was a splendid haiga artist whose work continues to inspire the haiku community and beyond and receiving the Grand Award in her namesake contest is a joy I will always treasure!

This haiku was published a while back in Modern Haiku! It’s always nice to be included!
Back in 2022, I was honored to be counted among the poets who was featured on signs in DC as part of the Golden Haiku Poetry Contest!

I am so happy to have one of my haiku featured at the Japanese Garden at Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville!

The poem was originally published in Lynx Magazine:
from its cocoon
to the spider’s web
