Daghang salamat, Prof. Marj!

Something came in the mail yesterday—Prof. Marj Evasco's precious gift, Ma. Milagros Dumdum's Falling on Quiet Water. The author is the wife of poet Simeon Dumdum, Jr, whose collection, Why Keanu Reeves Is So Lonely, I thoroughly enjoyed. 

Just a sampling of the excellent haiku (No. 18): 

Evening comes. I pray

With crickets orchestrating

Our pleas commingle.

On this warm April morning, I want to curl up in bed after reading that!
