A Tanka by Kimberly Kuchar

 

1, 2, 3
steps inside
the fairy ring;
I'll take my chances
in another realm

~

Kimberly Kuchar often writes while her pet cockatiel is relaxing on her shoulder. In 2025, she was a Rhysling Award Finalist and was in the Dwarf Stars Anthology. She also had a haiku displayed in Washington, DC, in the Golden Haiku Poetry Competition and received an Honorable Mention in the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Haiku Invitational. Kimberly lives near Austin with her husband and son (when he's home from college).
