Cattails has always been a great journal with amazing haiku that I often refer to for inspiration and the editors are very knowledgeable and kind. Many thanks to Geethanjali Rajan not only for her haiku advice but for her compassion during the passing of Rachel Sutcliffe & Martha Magenta. This particular issue is dedicated to the great Martha Magenta who was also a member of “The Haiku Nook” that was disbanded after the fall of Google Plus. R.I.P. Martha and forever thanks for sending me the invite to the Nook.
Haiku:
salmon run—
a bear sinks its teeth
into rainbows
Senryu:
office meeting
only the free food
sounds special
Note* The original Senryu accepted was:
office meeting
only the free food
sounds official
I didn’t get a notice why there was a change nor did I emailed the senryu editor about it. Rather, I let it be because the revision is interesting and adds another layer added to the poem.
