Drifting Away (Tanka)


Difficult to see
through blurry eyes that wander
that we've been drifting 
ever so far from the shore 
where we once held hands and kissed

Courage (Haiku)


Dew drenched leaves arise
while Mother stands strong and tall
rooted in courage

Stretched (Tanka)



Staring at success
I stretch as far as I can
seeking to touch it
and bring it back home with me
to prove I'm more than you thought

Hearts for Haiti



 Hearts for Haiti 
Book of Poetry & Inspiration 

To listen to a sample, click here

This book was created a few years ago and many wonderful poets, artists and voice over artists contributed to it. Its purpose was to donate its proceeds to Haitian relief agencies to help the country rebuild after the devastation it endured with the 2010 earthquake. We did not sell many books unfortunately. 

The GREAT news is ASJ Publishing recently picked it up and published the audio version (which also comes with a pdf of the book so you get the wonderful artwork as well).  

Ken Maxon was the mastermind behind the voice overs as he coordinated many wonderful voice over artists to contribute. 

Above is a link to HEARTS FOR HAITI Book of Poetry & Inspiration - Audio Version (which includes pdf). Thank you so much to all who contributed!  

Don't forget to check out the sample recording.  Enjoy!

Stillness (Tanka)


 The still of her soul
quieted the raging storm
of relentless waves
pounding the mental shoreline
with visions of a shipwreck
