A BREATH OF AFRICA was released in January 2021 from @GIPLbooks. It is hard to believe two years have passed already. I was able to do a launch in September and was grateful to all of the attendees! https://t.co/eEVvt6L0YG

A winter-themed haiku of my own:

crusted snow
beyond the wall
something scrambles

[LysaCollinsPoet @LysaPoet]

A winter-themed haiku from Shiki:

evening snow falling
a pair of mandarin ducks
on an ancient lake

[LysaCollinsPoet @LysaPoet]

Happy #InternationalHaikuPoetryDay! Thought I would share a haiku from my author page at: https://t.co/uv3vbWvW3U

sere grasses  –
rough touch of a cheetah’s tongue
on the orphaned cub

carpet of snow
granddad
already at the barn

A favourite:

the short night—
broken, in the shallows
a crescent moon

from Buson

[LysaCollinsPoet @LysaPoet]

snowbound—
one cinnamon stick or two
— mulling

[LysaCollinsPoet @LysaPoet]

Posting a favourite to start the day...

From Shiki

evening snow falling
a pair of mandarin ducks
on an ancient lake
