Bio Sketch
Being curious and staying open to possibility is Lorraine Pester’s way of keeping her haikai fresh. She shies from no topic that presents itself. Her deliberate interactions with birds while dog walking is a frequent theme. She lives with her husband and Abbey schnauzer in south Texas.
Lorraine's imagistic tanka effectively builds, line by line, to a thematically significant and emotionally powerful ending that reveals the "theme/spirit of Christmas: love and peace."
ReplyDeleteI will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
– Charles Dickens
A good conscience is a continual Christmas.
– Benjamin Franklin
