Hey, folks. More haiku and senryu for your perusal as Gobblers by Masticadores has published the latest installment of my short haiku/senryu collections titled “A Few Haiku (22).” These small collections consist of six haiku and/or senryu. Sincere thanks to editor Manuela Timofte for this opportunity to share my poetry with all of you.
“A Few Haiku (22)”
© 2021 by Michael L. Utley
(#127)
serrated sea shells
flay unfeeling fleeing feet
my numb soul bleeds out
…..
(#128)
bits of blue shell
and broken soul mark my fall
from heaven’s nest
…..
(#129)
old pond and ocean
renewed with each thunderstorm
my soul begs for rain
You can read the rest of this mini-collection here:

Thanks, Joni. I’m pleased to know this one connected with you. I hope your week is going well. It’s chilly here (30° F) but I have a cup of hot sweetened peach tea so it’s all good. Lots of love to you and Scott. 😊
