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.
A moment is keenly captured in this visually riveting haiku -- the highly symmetric shapes of ice crystals are juxtaposed with the pink color of morning's first light (this reminding me of Homer's rosy-fingered dawn in The Odyssey)
