Haiku illuminate what is happening in this place at this moment. They are short, concise, immediate, created out of direct experience. My Haiku are an invitation to share wondrous, feeling encounters I have with Nature, and with my nature. Two Sagas The haiku are followed by two sagas. These are derivatives of haiku. They are palpable, direct exposures of my heart made up of immediate experience.
