• "Piso" in Poetry Cornwall Issue 37:

Piso

A child opens his hands
to receive my coin

A child opens his hands
now empty

A child opens his hands
now still

A child opens his hands
still and empty.

In my hand
a cold coin shines a dull sheen.

• "Summer" in Paper Wasp Winter 2013

Summer

a breeze sways
the chipped garden swing—
our prayers

to the three Saints
we dance the pandanggo
sudden rain

kaimito season
the first fruit falls
from our tree

clouds
kapok in full bloom
our unborn child

drought
just a pile of coins
in the well

closing the blinds…
a streak
of dry tears

Published in paper wasp, Australia

This has never happened to me before: 2 acceptances in one day (the other one in this earlier post). I didn't even know about the acceptance of two of my haiku in paper wasp, an international poetry publication based in Queensland. As their website states,

paper wasp [is a] print magazine, which is published quarterly. It is devoted to the Japanese verse forms: haiku, senryu, renga, haibun and tanka.

They're open to submissions by the way. So do check them out:)

Took a picture of my contributor's copy. Came in a cute envelope with a cute doggy stamp :3
