I am a working musician living in Northern California. Can somebody spot me a twenty until next week? Some of my work can be found in Simply Haiku, Contemporary Haibun, and Turquoise Dawn.

So glad you made it Johnny! A tight, light and dark little poem.
Lemme know when and where your next gig is and I’ll come support the cause.
