frazil ice
on a mountain lake
at breakup
the tinkling chimes
signal your departure

各種形狀的冰塊
分手時
叮噹叮噹的鐘聲
標示你的離去

Bio Sketch
Debbie
Strange is an award-winning Canadian short form poet, haiga artist, and
photographer. Keibooks released her full-length poetry collection, Warp and Weft: Tanka Threads in 2015, and Folded Word published her haiku chapbook, A Year Unfolding in 2017. An archive of publications may be accessed at www.debbiemstrange.blogspot.ca.
The juxtaposition of these two concrete and evocative visual and auditory images is emotionally resonant, and on second reading, the upper verse works well on two levels, literal and symbolic.
