Bio Sketch
Simon
Hanson lives in country South Australia enjoying the open spaces and
nearby coastal environments. He is excited by the natural world and
relishes moments of the numinous in ordinary things. He is published in
various journals and anthologies and never realised how much the moon
meant to him until he started writing haiku.
Ls sets the theme while Ls 2&3 skillfully establish an implied metaphoric relationship between odd chairs and family members.
ReplyDeleteA well-crafted haiku with an aesthetic focus on the "hai"
