Jerry Ball, haiku stalwart

This is a picture of Jerry Ball, one of the earliest members of Yuki Teikei Haiku Society,
taken during an art session, at one of our Haiku Retreats at Asilomar.
Having a retreat here, on the beautiful Monterey Bay near Pacific Grove in California,
was Jerry's idea, and our fellowship and study at these annual events
has been a treasure to our group. Jerry is also a past-president of YTHS.



the bitter morning--
a sudden shudder jolts through
a row of freight cars


*****


the first plum blossoms
she calls me by the name
she thinks is mine


Jerry Ball
