Don Wentworth's work reflects his interest in the revelatory nature of brief, haiku-like moments in everyday life. He has three full-length poetry collections: Past All Traps, Yield to the Willow, and With a Deepening Presence (Six Gallery), and a ghazal collection forthcoming in 2026 (Low Ghost Press).

I really like this, Don!
I have a slug trail haiku I never could get right, but then, I didn't think of "slime trail", lol! Makes me miss the west coast. Great one, Don. :)
Oh, My! Don … how our memories come through "glinting"… It's a good thing we can let all the slime fall away…Many thanks, Merrill
"Issa's Untidy Hut" truly, (and mt fuji slowly, slowly. Thank you, Don, for this gem.
Thanks all. I really appreciate the enthusiasm. Don

Good use of alliteration/consonance (g and gl). Another haiku with several layers for the close reader to be rewarded.
