Bio Sketch
Internationally known poet Sylvia Forges-Ryan is a former Editor of Frogpond, the journal of the Haiku Society of America, and author of Take a Deep Breath: The Haiku Way to Inner Peace.
This enlightening man-nature relationship is vividly portrayed through the emotionally resonant juxtaposition of images, and on a second reading, "narrow path" in L1 successfully adds symbolic significance to the poem.
