Welcome to this week’s haiku pea podcast. We’re cooking on gas, quite literally in some cases this week, as the haiku and senryu are all about recipes. It was a difficult topic, I think, but you all came up trumps and I’m delighted with the results. I hope you will be too. As usual I’ll start with some previously published work, they were fiendishly difficult to find, then I shall turn to poets who haven’t written for us before and then of course to our regular contributors.
As you know I add information about our poets to the show notes, so please go along and have a read.

Bio:
I am Linda Lee Ludwig and I am retired, a wife and mother now able to spend my time in creative ventures. I have always been interested in the creative arts but on a part time basis. I married and raised three children and spent most of my energies loving and playing and working as an equal support role in their welfare.
I have written poems and songs for many years, along with my love of drawing and ceramic painting. I have a couple of published poems but not in publications known by most poets. I have had several published in Haiku Foundations and Femku Magazine, I am just starting to find ways to participate and share my poetry and illustrations. I belong to several online groups and enjoy sharing poetry with friends.

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to the podcast today and remember there will be more verses for you to read when I publish the first quarterly journal from poetrypea. I’ve nearly finished the bare bones of it, but as I haven’t done this before I’m not sure when exactly it will be available. Those of you who are on my mailing list will find out as soon as I know and if you would like to be on the mailing list, you will now find a sign up form on the home page of the poetrypea website.
Don’t forget the next topic s “Afternoon break” and your deadline for that is 1st April. I’m looking forward to reading your verses for that, keep your emails coming.
A little more news.
Remember I said that I would like to put together a children’s anthology this year. I’ll tell you more about it in the next podcast, but start thinking of haiku and senryu for children as I shall be opening the submissions soon.
And in more news… I have created the first proper video for pea TV on the poetry pea youtube channel so if you would like to have some visual material you can subscribe there too.
Well, that’s it finally from me for this week. The next podcast in a couple of weeks will return to the topic of essence and of course the latest renku. I hope you’ll pay me a visit there too… Until then, keep writing…
If I’ve missed anything out in the show notes, please just email me and I’ll get back to you asap.
