frosty morning
the goat’s first squirt
pings the milk pail

Bio Sketch
Mark
Dailey is an anthropology professor living and working in rural
Vermont, USA. He has studied, lived, and researched in mainland China,
and has a lifelong interest in Chinese language and poetry. He has
devoted his poetry writing to haiku since 2013.
The sensory shift between the lines of this pastoral life haiku is effective, and it successfully enhances the emotionally suggestive power of the haiku.
