Bio Sketch
Michele
L. Harvey is a professional landscape painter living in New York. Her
year is divided between homes in rural central NY and New York City. Her
poetry has been accepted by most of the current short form poetry
publications and she has won numerous national and international
Japanese short form poetry contests, both in haiku and tanka. You may
view both her paintings and examples of her poetry online
The juxtaposition of /comparison between "spare button" and "blue moon" (additional full moon appearing in a subdivision of a year) is atmospherically effective, lifting the poem out of the ordinary.
