Today is my wedding anniversary! And this month, for the second year in a row, a photo haiku that I worked on together with my husband, Jonathan Montgomery Pollock, was selected for recognition on the show
Haiku Masters on
NHK World-Japan! This time, I was named Runner-Up for Haiku Master of the Month! Jonathan both inspired the haiku below and took the moving photo that comprise our winning submission, which is viewable at the website's Gallery now with accompanying video and judges' commentary. As with last year, I didn't tell Jonathan I was submitting our work so that I would (hopefully) be able to surprise him with a special Happy Anniversary gift. Here's to another year of challenges, joys, and successes behind us, and a new year of hopes and dreams ahead:
