this sunrise
melts away a night of frost

__I'll point out: "Spasms of Light," a collection of haiku, senryu, haibun and tanka, has recently been made available at amazon.com. This is the premier anthology produced by  Wonder Haiku Worlds, and among the "Spasms of Light" contributors... there are many, of whom you will know.

the space stations fly-over
a moments streak

Just an unseen, unheard echo... to Devika's most recent and heartful haibun. _m
