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."
Ants are often associated with themes of hard work, perseverance, and cooperation, and the communal colony/ant hill is their lifetime's work. Therefore, L1 is thematically, emotionally and symbolically resonant with the goal/purpose of Ls 2&3.
ReplyDeleteAnd it might be interesting to do a thematic comparison reading of the following haiku:
morning shower --
finding just the word
I was looking for
Carolyn Hall
One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.
-- Jack Kerouac
