its a most enjoyable project that Curtis Dunlap is underataking … among many many fabulous poets featured you can find my 3 questions (or rather the answers to the questions) … it was an excellent exercise to think upon the answers …
Do read the other poets featured and click on their sites to explore some fabulous reading (really) >>> Gina

vine tomatoes that hang
like vowels
with no language in common

Chrysanthemum April 2009
i have decided to post here (mostly) published pieces and advice of publication comes through in dribs and drabs – but I dont post until i have the link and it is actually published which makes it slow going … I am currently doing collages which is as much a struggle as poetry is (but its supposed to be a struggle isnt it ?) …
see the artworks (and some photography days that keeps the art ticking over) …
and in the search for great reading i come to this site on tanka often … ENJOY

hating the hopefulness

I dream your whispers

tall and straight now
i wish you could see
the dogwood you planted
before it’s shadow bends
in the winter wind

where once we danced
tiny shells jostle
murmuring of cold

i go from waiting to not
loving you
