Bio Sketch

Keitha Keyes lives in Sydney, Australia in a small house decorated with ship models, antique irons and trivets. And a cocker spaniel. Her retirement would be very empty without the lure of writing tanka, haiku, cherita and other poetry.

  1. L1 sets the theme while combined with the use of double entendre and capitalization, Ls 2&3 greatly enhance the "hai" aspect of the haiku.

    A fine timely and sociopolitically conscious haiku!
