Bio Sketch
Nancy
Nitrio began writing haiku in 2007. Her haiku has been published in
various paper and online journal here in the USA and internationally.
She has placed second in May 2009 Shiki Monthly Kukai. She was
runner-up in the Snapshot Press Haiku Calendar Contest 2009 and
Honorable Mention in the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival 2010. She
lives in the Sacramento Valley region of central California with her

This haiku is tightly structured and subtly conveys its emotional undercurrent through well-chosen phrases, "winter" clouds and "failed" marriage, and juxtaposition.
