Haiku Gathering a quarter century ago!

I must have forgotten to have them say "cheese!"
Left to right: Patricia J. Machmiller, 
Margaret Chula, James Hackett!

All of these people have written books that are worth looking up!

This is a candid moment from the haiku past.
I took it at Haiku North America 1993.



father-in-law
who taught me how to sail
now asks me the word
for the place
where horses sleep

on the patio
the afternoon drifts along
with the butterfly

An abandoned book . . .
skimming through its pages,
breezes from the sea.

HNA that Mr. Hackett attended.  jhh
