This week Patricia’s joined by Jason Furtak, Steve Ullom, Mark Scott, Richard Matta, who suggested the topic of punctuation and Allyson Whipple who gave us a much lauded presentation on the topic. They will be your community judges for this reading of original haiku and senryu with punctuation.
We find out who Linda Ludwig chose for the winners of the Haiku Pea Prompt for March.
Thanks Linda… you work hard on making sure all the poems are read. I really appreciate your work and I know our poets friends do too.
April’s prompt has been up for 18 days, have you taken part yet? Please leave your poems in the comments for a chance to be featured here on the podcast and in the Poetry Pea Journal.
Make sure you are signed up to the YouTube channel? There are so many free resources on our there now I’d hate for you to miss out. Which reminds me, Deborah P Kolodji’s workshop is on there and you’ll need to have listened to it or watched it for next month’s topic.
Just a quick reminder to use the right emails for your submissions so they get seen AND any submission of less than 4 poems will be rejected.
A big thank you to my editing team for punctuation, Vandana Parashar, Lorraine Padden, Ron Craig and Robert Horrobin, they had so many poems to read this month. Thank you team.
If you have submitted haibun. Shane and I will be making decisions and replying this month. So if you haven’t heard by the end of April 2022, do let me know. Sometimes things get lost in the ether and it’s better to ask.
Another quick reminder that the Poetry Pea Readings podcast will have another episode at the end of the month… something a little different with lots of voices. See you on the last Wednesday and if you need a reminder do sign up for the mailing on the website so you don’t miss out on anything.
An apology.
last month, on our colour podcast, I missed reading you this little gem from Mariangela Canzi, Mariangela, please forgive me. I hope this makes up a little for my ineptitude.

Thank you for my Coffees
Thank you to Tony Williams, Linda Ludwig, Jason Furtak and Steve Bahr who very kindly went to the buy me a coffee button on the website and bought the podcast a coffee last month. I appreciate it.
There is a great deal of work to be done on the podcast to bring you each podcast, reading submissions and replying to them, reading for each workshop, recording time, email invitations to record, mailing you little snippets of information, editing each pod. I love doing it but there is a limit to what I can do. I would like to take on an intern because I need more help. I can’t afford to do that so I’m going to need to save some cash from my coffees. If you can contribute even the cost of one coffee, then I can do this and keep the podcast going. Any help is appreciated.
Goodbye
It was great to have your company today. I enjoy my time with you and also reading your feedback afterwards. Do let me know what you think.
Next time I’ll be joined by Roberta Beary and we’ll be talking about how you can use your memories in your haiku. It’s something I do quite a lot, what about you?
See you then, but until then…. Keep writing!

I hope I’ve got everything in the shownotes, but you know the drill if I’ve messed up… just email me. Ciao
