Songbird . . .

Naia is in the foreground of this informal glimpse 

of the 2012 Retreat at Asilomar. I think this is the same renku party 

that Alan Pizzarelli is shown leading in a recent photo on this blog.

Joseph Robello is at the right 

and that's the indefatigable haijin Deborah Kolodji in the center.

I went looking for this photo because Naia's haiku below

was the Daily Haiku on Charlotte di Gregorio's Writer's Blog today!  jhh

        songbird . . .

        even the crow in the next tree

        listens
