Bio Sketch
Carol Jones lives and works on a
farm in one of the South Wales valleys, UK. Although she hasn't the time
to get involved in the wider environmental issues, she does document
her own environment as she goes about her work.
L1 sets the theme while Ls 2&3 enhance the "hai" aspect of the haiku. And the use of "another" in L2 makes this "Year of the Pig" haiku emotionally effective and relatable.
ReplyDeleteMy haiku published yesterday could be read a prequel to Carol's:
written for the "celebration" of Chinese New Year of the Pig
dinner alone
one more slice of roast piglet
dripping juice
congratulations to Carol Jones on this excellent haiku! glad to see it published here. happy year of the pig!
