Four Haiku Published in Bear Creek Haiku

The journal Bear Creek Haiku has published four of my haiku in its August 2020 issue. The editor is Ayaz Daryl Nielsen, assisted by people and two cats. I have been revising many of my haiku to shorten them, and I’m pleased that these four have found a good home.

My play The Cell Phone won fourth place in a national contest and was performed twice at the Fenton Village Players One-Act Play Festival on June 24-25, 2011 in Fenton, Michigan.
