Bio Sketch
Keitha Keyes lives in Sydney, surrounded by antique irons and ship models. She enjoys writing tanka, haiku, senryu, cherita and related genres. Her work is published in many journals and anthologies in Australia and overseas.
The contrast between Spanish "galleons" (originally as warships then later for trade)and a "squadron" of "pelicans" is interestingly fresh and lighthearted.
ReplyDeleteA fine example of haiku with the thematic focus on "hai."
