this time of day
when clouds drift down from sky
I think of you . . .
next to me, embracing
a sudden stream of light
red lights, vol. 9, no. 2, June 2013
I just received the current issue of Marilyn Hazelton’s lovely tanka journal red lights. It’s always a pleasure to share the pages with so many fine tanka poets there.
About Margaret Dornaus
I’m a writer and a teacher, as well as a haiku-doodler. I live in a beautiful woodland setting, surrounded by native oak forests, that inspires me to record haiku snapshots of luna moths and our resident roadrunner, and even an occasional black bear as it hightails it across the top of my road, my mongrel dog barking at its heels as I watch with wonder.
My work as a travel writer has appeared in publications from The Dallas Morning News to the Robb Report. You can find examples of my travel writing–as well as excerpts from a travel memoir I’m working on–at my other WordPress site, Travelin’ On.
What more than that do you need to know? Only that I started this blog with an eye toward collaboration. Got a haiku? Send it my way. . . . I’m all about new visions & voices.
Best, Margaret

You are such a beam of light. Reading your tanka is a highlight to my day. You inspire me to write and notice the everyday things. Keep writing! Blessings.
Thank you so much, “rowdy.” How kind you are . . .
so romantic
