a song from home --
another pinch of spice
into the stir fry

Bio Sketch
Samantha Sirimanne Hyde was born in Sri Lanka and now lives in Australia. She enjoys dabbling in short fiction, free verse, haiku, tanka and other Japanese poetry forms.
In this multi-sensual haiku, a nostalgic feeling is effectively conveyed through the thematically significant and emotionally resonant juxtaposition of "song from home" and "pinch of spice" (symbolizing the smell of home), and the use of "another" enhances the emotional significance of the poem.
