Poems Up at Buddhist Poetry Review

I’m delighted that my poems “Hurricane,” “Star Bright” and “Why I Hate Mowing the Lawn” are live at Buddhist Poetry Review.. Thank you, Jason Barber, for taking these.

  Thanks, Tre! It’s been a good first week, on the writing front! Politically, not so much.

With the strong often ignored pull on me to Buddhism, I had to look, also the title Why I Hate Mowing the Lawn….. Oh how that resonates with a subversive gardener! Congratulations and great poems.
