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. Photo of Janet Ruth Heller by Diane Joy Schmidt
