This past week has been good to this pedometer geek, at least as far as having some haiku published.
The Haiku Foundation’s weekly column, Haiku Dialogue, selected one of my haiku about wild animals. At this time, Tia Haynes is selecting the topic as well as the haiku. Mine is as follows:
outback fires
wombats only discovered
in encyclopedias
~Nancy Brady, 2020
Here is the site to all the haiku: http://www.thehaikufoundation.org/2020/02/26/haiku-dialogue and click the link called Haiku Dialogue.
Valentina Ranaldi-Adams’ Stardust Haiku: Poetry With a Little Sparkle has just published February’s journal, Issue #38, this week and again, here is my haiku:
the chill
in his words
snow moon
~Nancy Brady

Very nice.
I believe I just read about the first black rhino baby born in captivity.

Thanks, Jules. You are right; there was a black rhino recently born in captivity. I think that may be the only way to save them from extinction. Sad, isn’t it?
I have loved wombats since I first discovered them during a time when I chose encyclopedias at random and leafed through them. W was just one of my choices. Cleveland Zoo actually has an Australian exhibit, but no wombats. They have kangaroos and wallabies, koalas, and other fauna from that country. It is pretty cool, but alas…however, I have discovered that a zoo near/in Chicago may have wombats so that is a road trip Rob and I will some day take, hopefully. Speaking of road trips, did I promise you the Valley Forge CD? I have all of the pieces (brochure, CD, etc.) together and I can send it now. I know I promised it to someone, and I believe it was you. Please let me know. ~nan

Thanks, Barbara. I try, but I will never master the form so your words touch me.
