I've had a tanka prose published to this online magazine. Extremely well done. Great job to all of the poets and artists involved! Here's my contribution: I found a man with his hands in his face. Defeated. A former teacher, now in his late seventies. His Alzheimer’s progresses rapidly. Along with other health concerns. A list. He has trouble communicating his needs. But this is clear. As he sits on a bench. Clear, he’s emotionally exhausted. I go over and sit next to him. deaths door opens wider each day a new journey silently i put my arm around his shoulder Roy Kindelberger is an elementary teacher and memory care manager. He lives in Edmonds WA. Roy says: “As I make my journey through a memory care home, helping residents, I feel a connection. Even if it’s only for a moment. That connection of a handshake, a hug, a tear, a story, or a laugh. It most certainly puts things into perspective.”  I have two haiku in Jumble Box. I’m extremely excited.
Here they are: the way-- the circle he paces at the home Page 123 falling leaves-- the day a tree branch broke beneath my feet Page 180 I'm proud to share a recently published poem: https://coloradoboulevard.net/poetry-corner-building-bridges/ Here's my poem as well: Roy Kindelbergera return to an old manuscript feels like new a walk on the bridge where i took the picture years ago Roy Kindelberger of Bothell, Washington, shows a solid bridge of words reaching from past to present in this subtle strong poem. We all know the feeling of déjà vu and its power of transforming our feelings. Roy says: “It’s about mending the past. Bridges were broken.” Words of strong feeling are memorable and have power to connect and mend. Enjoy! I realized I hadn't posted a short poem that was published in July. Well, here it is:
