I am on a silent retreat, but this came in and I can't resist sharing. I wanted to publish a poem this year and here it is. Thank you, Silver Birch Press. https://t.co/urL7vB5Anh

My final tanka in a year of writing daily tankas.

Endings Open Beginnings

We close this book
Of a year passing by. Its
Pages written and inscribed—
Meet the new unwritten page
Blank words yet to be formed…

Happy 2021! Here is to needed endings (more than we would have ever anticipated) and to welcomed beginnings.

“For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning."
