Bio Sketch
H. Gene Murtha, a naturalist and poet, sponsored and judged the first haiku contest for the inner city children of Camden, NJ., for the Virgilio Group, of which he was a lifetime member. He was widely published for his work in haikai literature from the USA to Japan.
Gene's haiku is tightly structured with an emotionally undercurrent that runs through these evocative visuals of a V of geese flying from the pond in autumn's twilight chill.

autumn twilight
zig-zag flight of a heron
from the marsh
