Happy New Year everyone!  I’m excited to announce that my haiku won 3rd place in the 2017 Tokutomi Haiku Contest. It was my first time writing with a kigo, so it was a fun challenge   I look forward to writing more haiku in 2018.

It’s been 1 year since the launch of the Whisperings Blog and the associated Facebook page. It all started with 1 post, 1 page and a simple dream. In 1 year, the blog has had 1,700 visits, 111 blog posts, 170 followers, 60 Facebook fans, and a published book. 2015 will be an even more exciting year (with poetry readings, audio poetry and a Kindle/e-book publication). Thank you all for the support and I wish you a very Happy New Year!  Cheers!
