Poetry Pea is celebrating 7 years of poetry podcasts with some poetry from Maine in the US and some prose. The prose is a reading from Douglas J Lanzo’s award winning book, The Year of the Bear. Douglas is regularly featured as a poet on Poetry Pea and when he told us about his first novel being such a success how could we not invite him along to read to us and tell us a bit about how he got it published.
Have you added your haiku / senryu to the comments on the Poetry Pea Video Prompt? You might feature in a podcast and the Poetry Pea Journal.
Poetry from Maine
deep ocean fog
the dark heron emerges
and disappears
Bruce Ross, found on the Haiku Foundation website
paddle at rest
beads of water slide
from the loon’s bill
Paul W MacNeil, The Heron’s Nest Vol. I, No. 1: Sept. 1999;
late February
stuck to the tree, a snowball
in the strike zone
Cor van den Heuval, Modern Haiku 40:1
harbor lights
the reclining moon
tips out a star
Catherine JS Lee, DailyHaiku (April 2009)
departing ferry
tossed flowers
drift back to shore
