I’d like to announce the latest installment of my short haiku/senryu collections titled “A Few Haiku (12)” is now live at Gobblers by Masticadores. These small collections consist of six haiku and/or senryu. Much gratitude to Editor Manuela Timofte for publishing this mini-collection. I hope you like them.
“A Few Haiku (12)”
© 2021 by Michael L. Utley
(#67)
Regret stills haunts me
Even though my heart tells me
I did all I could
…..
(#68)
When I am in need
God responds to all my prayers
“Return to sender”
…..
(#69)
The days come and go
But sometimes inside my heart
The night never leaves
You can read the rest of this mini-collection here:
Also, don’t forget to follow and subscribe to Gobblers by Masticadores, where you’ll find some wonderful writing and plenty of food for thought.

Always appreciate your wonderful support, Diana. I’m late in getting around to blog stuff (jeez, what’s new, right?). I hope you’re enjoying February (I might have to turn on the A/C–it’s a sultry 45° F here in SWCO). 😊☀️😎

No worries, though I often wonder about you when I don’t hear from you for a while. It’s freezing here for another week, and then… maybe… signs of spring.
