  1. Using few words, Rachel's shasei haiku paints a vivid picture infused with symbolic significance.

    And it could be read as a sequel to my haiku below:

    for Basho

    a raven
    in the maple limbs ...
    deep winter

    NeverEnding Story, March 20 2023

    And it could be also read as a prequel to the folloiwng haiku:

    moonrise the sky from the oncology wing
