May 7, Thursday Zoom Poetry Meeting

I participated in Thursday Poetry Meeting by Zoom presided at by Ms. Kathabela Wilson. The attendants were the members of the poetry workshop at S. S. Japanese Garden, which I attend every time I visit Pasadena, California. I felt as if I went back to my hometown.

It was my first participation of this Zoom session. It seems that the organizer was hesitated to invite me because of its starting time – 5:30 a.m. on May 8 in Japan. However, the session was so meaningful that I didn’t even think about time difference! I and Ms. Deborah P. Kolodji performed two sequences of Haiku & Tanka, which we created together.
