on the road ...
the sun is a white circle
behind the fog

Bio Sketch
Elisa Allo was born in Messina, Sicily, Italy, in 1974, and she currently lives in Switzerland. Since 2006, she has managed a blog, Ama no Gawa. In 2007, she published a collection of haiku, tanka and senryū, Sushi diVersi. Some of her haiku and senryū were published in italian and international journals.
A moment is keenly captured in this imagistic haiku, and on second reading, the image of the sun as a white circle effectively carries symbolic significance.
