The new book is here, but October marches on

A Journey of Choice by Pat Laster, is available at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com. Two book signings scheduled: At Piggott, November 2, and near the church library at Salem UMC November 7 after the traditional morning service.

Meanwhile, the season is amenable to haiku, senryu, sen-news (my terminology) and a cinquain.

Three Sen-News
the hum of failure
Baghdad's electricity
unreliable

the blue Danube
now red with alumni sludge
from a breached dam

matter of balance:
right of privacy versus
subway safety

Three Haiku
hungry cats
gnawing on ripening pears
during the night?

younger cat
head-butting the older
in play

yellow butterfly
on a red cypress-vine bloom~
the mailman cometh

Three Senryu
passing a book
from Pat through Pat to Pat
on Poetry Day

interviewee

interviewer

one more rusty nail
from the forty-year-old
paneling

Cinquain
Looking
south this autumn
morning, I see roses;
north, a reddish sassafras grove.
I smile.
