The following poems of mine have appeared in Kingfisher, a twice-yearly haiku journal edited and published in Oregon by Tanya McDonald. Occasionally I never submitted, or a submission was returned, hence the no-shows here and there, but otherwise, I’m always pleased to have poems in these pages. Most recent publication listed first.
