a flower’s shadow
against the fortress wall

Bio Sketch
Michael
Dylan Welch is the founder
of the Tanka Society of America (2000), and co-founder of Haiku North
America conference (1991) and the American Haiku Archives (1996). In
2010 he also started National Haiku Writing Month (NaHaiWriMo), which
takes place every February, with an active Facebook page. His personal
website is www.graceguts.com, which features hundreds of essays,
reviews, reports, and other content, including examples of his published
poetry.
Enhanced by the cinematic zoom-in technique, a moment of fragile beauty is keenly captured in this imagistic haiku.
