My haiku have been published in The Heron's Nest. Other poems have appeared in Riverrun, Writer's Roundtable, Calliope, Quiddity, and Screaming Zebra. I have poems forthcoming in Wild Sweet Notes II: More West Virginia Poetry and In Other Words. I also won the Best Poetry Collection Award in 2002 from West Virginia Writer's, Inc.

long winter night
half of full moon
still in my window
talk at kitchen
a cricket shrills on
without a care
interesting syntax –
“in twin”
— —-
twin: (n) one of two, resembling another;
(a) being two; (bio) occurring in pairs, didymous; (v) to pair, to unite or combine
———–
maybe two
in harmony …
one
Suddenly…silence –
only from the distance
the echo
fireflies sparkling
above grass–
trees wafting silently
Soulmates apart
still the seasons
in my heart
mockingbird’s ruffle feathers –
out on a limb
alone
