Bio Sketch
Keitha Keyes lives in Sydney, Australia in a small house decorated with ship models, antique irons and trivets. And a cocker spaniel. Her retirement would be very empty without the lure of writing tanka, haiku, senryu, cherita and other poetry.
L1 sets the theme while the grand and powerful image of cows like tidal waves flowing into the dairy barn in the early morning in Ls 2&3 makes this haiku visually and emotionally effective.
