N.E. Taylor

one red rose
in my garden
dream come true

ice cream
all 37 flavors
dream come true

These haiku are by N.E. Taylor in Los Angeles, CA, whose garden has become a dream-come-true for writing inspiration.

that one sweet moment
many decades ago
may still be relived

that one sweet moment
journeying poetic road
will it come again

what to make of it
butterfly appears in dream
who is it really

Michael Czarnecki lives in Wheeler, New York. He makes his living giving poetry readings and workshops around the U.S. He muses “who’d have ever thought a kid from a working class Polish neighborhood would now be living a poet’s life”.

dreamchaser
I thought I was too old
and yet
this book of tanka
that bears my name

Debbie Strange is a Canadian dreamer, whose minimalist poetry, haiga, tanka art, and photography are influenced by themes both real and imagined in this “strange” and wonderful world we inhabit!

> Kathabela is delighted to present this Poetry Corner in the midst of her own “Dream Come True” in Kamakura, Japan. She says “Our dear friend Mariko Kitakubo has been leading us through this incredible dreamworld, where hydrangea and iris are in full bloom. On the one rainy day we visited the most amazing aquarium we have ever seen. We are here sharing the wonders chosen for our eyes by our very inspiring and special poet friend”.
