Bones - journal for contemporary haiku no. 16

One of my students has a number of haiku in there for the very first time! :-)

Wonderful work by our very own Marion Clarke! Her work in Bones is astonishing and there is more than one way to read the words and lines. Superb and powerful work!

Work by new THF member Ray Caligiuri as well; and John McManus!

And lots more!!!

Wow - thank you, Pragya!  :)

I see Rachel's blog is no longer posting her work. Sad, but inevitable. I really miss her regular posts and comments here on The Foundation and our online chats.

Well done on being in this set of fine work, Alan.

Sounds like a wonderful afternoon!

Thanks so much, Alan. I'm only spotting your kind comments now. It was your reaction to my monoku unable to breathe his alien announcement that inspired me to produce that piece!

And I too enjoyed John's and Ray's work - it's a great issue.

Not long left to enter this one!

With the theme of 'reconciliation'
