Bio Sketch

Simon Hanson lives in country South Australia enjoying the open spaces and nearby coastal environments.  He is excited by the natural world and relishes moments of the numinous in ordinary things. He is published in various journals and anthologies and never realised how much the moon meant to him until he started writing haiku.

  1. Ls sets the theme while Ls 2&3 skillfully establish an implied metaphoric relationship between odd chairs and family members.

    A well-crafted haiku with an aesthetic focus on the "hai"
