Bio Sketch
Keitha
Keyes lives in Sydney but her heart is still in the Australian bush
where she grew up. She mostly writes tanka and related genres, revelling
in the inspiration, friendship and generosity of these writing
communities. Her work appears in many print and online journals and
anthologies.
The unexpected yet understandable last line makes this tanka relatable. A lesson to be learned: never ask your boyfriend to be your sky/driver... instructor. :-)
