Dear Colleen,
Thank you for your submission to the Haiku Down Under Anthology.
Hard to choose just one, but I have pleasure in accepting the following poem:
holiday cottage
under a sickle moon
a lone dingo howls
~ Colleen Keating
Kur-ring-gai, Australia
Please check that the poem, your name, town and country are correct.
I will let you know as soon as I have details re the purchase of HDU Anthology.
We are so glad you were part of Haiku Down Under.
Warm wishes
Carole Harrison
(HDU Editorial team)

Thank you editors of Echidna Tracks for publishing two of my haiku in Issue 8.
It is exciting to be included in this Australian journal.

barefoot around
a crescent beach
