Bio Sketch
A resident of British Columbia, Canada, Laryalee Fraser was actively engaged in online poetry forums from the mid-1990’s until her death in 2013. Her poetry has been widely published in haiku and tanka journals, and in 2006, she compiled an online anthology of haiku, "a procession of ripples."
L1 sets the scene and mood while unexpected yet sense-shifting L3 makes this autumn haiku poignantly effective.
