Sun on the horizon
a child tosses sand
back into the sea

Bio Sketch
Sylvia Forges-Ryan, a former Frogpond editor, is the author of Take a Deep Breath, The Haiku Way to Inner Peace. Her latest book, What Light There Is, consists of haiku, senryu, and tanka, with art work by Ion Codrescu. Both books have been selected for permanent inclusion in the Beinecke Library at Yale University.
The language and rhythm of Sylvia's haiku is straightforward, and it possesses a deceptive simplicity. On a second reading, the closing image is infused with philosophical depth.
