I published several poems in March and April of 2024. My senryu “Yoga Class” appeared in tsuri-dōrō #20 (March/April 2024) on page 31. The link is https://tsuridoro.org/issue-20-march-april-2024 Tony Pupello edits this online journal. My haiku “Sukkot Moon” appeared in Presence #78 (March 2024) on page 40. Ian Storr edits this journal, which is based in England. My tanka “Your Gentle Words” just got published in Ribbons 20.1 (Spring/Summer 2024) on page 40. The editor is Susan Weaver, and the Tanka Society of America sponsors this magazine. Tanka poems resemble haiku and senryu, but tanka poems use five lines instead of three lines. I enjoy the challenge of writing these short poems, which require concise language and well-chosen specific details. #senryu #haiku #tanka #poetry Janet Ruth Heller reading her poem at the Kalamazoo Poetry Festival in April 2024
