A welcome source of encouragement from poet, Frances Kakugawa, inspired me to expand my writing and, in so doing, experience abilities I thought beyond me. I doubt if my use of the haiku will ever be as free and natural as those gentle but powerful gems of Frances, but I will explore and share my explorations.

Kind, lovely Frances
Urged a poet on to write.
Doubtful mind set free
When words encourage
Silent pen takes up the dare.
Dreaming knights wake up
Onward! Ever on
Filling pages, or a verse.
Vivid minds create
Unused, living seeds
Gently woken, promise life
