their faces ain’t yours
(no time to judge their voices)
but they fill the void

I have to perform
(with you I can improvise)
but I love to act

If you enjoyed the above haiku, there’s more to love in Literary Revelations’ Haiku for Soulmates anthology, edited by Gabriella Marie Milton. I’m honored to say five of my own haiku (distinct from the three above) will appear in the anthology, amongst those of many other talented artists! I’ve also previously had the privilege of appearing in Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku and in Literary Revelations Journal. I can only say thank you for this opportunity, and congratulations to all contributors!
