It's a joy to reconnect with folks who supported my crowdfunding campaign. It's taking some extra time. So, if you haven't heard from me yet, you will!
In the meantime, this Haiku is from a poem in THE LEIGHTON EXPLOSION about Rick Derringer. (He's one of my faves.)

The book is available on a variety of sites from Amazon to Soul Asylum Poetry and Publishing. A personalized, autographed copy of the book is currently only available from me at http://anneleighton.com/store/

just for a day!

(GREEN) Watching Kenny's Garden Grow

There's a bushel in your hedge's row
watching Kenny's garden grow
dividends reinvested from sun and rain
equally, in equity poetically speaking, of course...

Over the heads of stems
clearing the settlement
from the angel's investment
of time and movement and liquidity’s sunny kiss

on property and resources of minerals: dirt, metals
bless these greens with petals
and more seeds for which we partake
of an abundance of futures.

-2008

That's not Kenny in the picture but a man of the usual height that we know most people to be.
