Two of my poems were published today by All Your Poems Anthology.

I am honored to have two of my poems published today in the October 2025 issue of All Your Poems Anthology.  The poems selected were “Like White Plumeria Petal” and “Fawning Haiku.”

I am grateful to Editor and Publisher Storm M. Grayson for accepting my work for such a wonderful indie lit magazine.



“October,” Alfons Mucha, 1898

From  Les Douze Mois (The 12 Months), published in Cocorico magazine.

It’s true (honestly).

“Ryby,” Kazimierz Sichulski, 1908

Pastel on paperboard.

“I imagine what it must be like to stay hidden, disappear in the dusky nothing and stay still in the night.”

If only I could say no to crack.

I rise with an alarming CRACK!

Is it my knees or is it my back?

As for why my feet are raging —

these are mysteries of aging.



Just a quick reaniminder …
