June 17, 7:00 p.m., U.S. time (June 18, 11:00 a.m., Japan time), I participated in Wednesday Zoom Gathering presided at by Ms. Kathabela Wilson.

Since we are all poetry lovers, we discussed about poetry, and presented art works or music performance. I performed reading of my new Tanka sequence, “Ocean Lullabye” in the gathering.

As always so, we were inspired each other. I really thank to every one of the attendants from the bottom of my heart.

I had enjoyable time by introducing to the members Ladies' Tresses, which I found in my garden. This is the flower we cannot easily see in Tokyo nowadays. I would like to write a new Tanka sequence under the theme of this flower.
