each day
the cross spider
weaves a new web --
finding the strength
to carry on

Bio Sketch
Corine Timmer lives in the countryside in the south of Portugal. She is an interior designer, animal lover, and a self-published author. Haiku crossed her path by accident in 2015 and she’s been hooked ever since. Corine’s haiku have been published in several on and offline haiku journals and anthologies. She won awards in 2017 and 2018.
Made up of five poetic phrases and structured into two parts (“jo,” the prefatory image, Ls 1-3 and the main statement, Ls 4&5), the lower verse effectively enhances the thematic and emotional focal point of the upper verse.
