I am very proud and happy to be included in the beautiful new anthology, A Sensory Journey, Haiku Down Under Anthology with my haiku. Thank you to the editors Carole Harrison and Sue Courtney for the beautiful presentation.
holiday cottage
under a sickle moon
a lone dingo howls

This photo is the nearest I can find to describe my experience except I was alone in the country holiday cottage for the week ( my choice to write) and it was a dark night hence a small cresent moon only and the dingos howled and howled and I thught a pack was just up on a hill nearby.. It did scare me a little at the time but I have read since that there is nothing to be afraid of as the howling is for a mate. And they don’t come for humans that are not trying to corner them in some way so I tried to show apprehension in the haiku. I hope it works that the reader is not sure!!!
