So proud of my friend Deborah Karl-Brandt @dkarlbrandt.bsky.social for winning The 6th Star Haiku Contest

My #tanka #book 'something with feathers' is now available in German (as usual, it will take a while till it appears in international book stores). I'll update you here and the links on my site then of course!
Anyway. #WinACopy this week! Choose if in English or German.
Just leave a comment!

100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists.
1362 Days to go...
It's easier not to talk about it...
how the wind howls and heavy hail
hits the fertile ground
