reeds bow
in a loon's wake

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 visually and emotionally effective use of personification adds one more layer of meaning to his imagistic haiku.
