May 29, Friday Zoom Poetry Meeting

I participated in the Friday Poetry Zoom Meeting presided at by Ms. Kathabela Wilson and performed reading of Japanese and English Tanka and my new sequence on May 29, 4 p.m. (May 30, 8 a.m., Japan time).

In the meeting, all the works presented by the fellow members inspired each other. Appraisals for work and exchanges of opinions were very meaningful. I had so much fun and 2-hour meeting flew by so quickly.

In the meeting, Mr. Robert Stuart, a painter, presented his works, and Mr. Rick Wilson performed Native American flute. The pursuit for collaboration of multiple means of expression was very intriguing for me.
