CONGRATULATIONS TO KNSJ SHOW HOST SUSAN TAYLOR FOR HER POEM SELECTED BY “HAIKUNIVERSE”
Wildfires sea to sea
They’ve taken the lifeboats
Susan talks about her poem written in haiku form: The haiku came to mind from news stories. East and West Coast fires. Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. I played with the juxtaposition of wildfires and water. Post-election metaphor intended with Wildfire Trump winning, and Republicans taking our freedoms, our protections, our “life boats.” The conciseness of haiku allows for a big idea using few words.
Poet and author Susan Taylor is the host of THE ELECTRIC PICNIC, a show focusing on local writers about poetry, prose, and spoken word. She has also interviewed poets and prose writers, as well as lyricists-musicians and newspaper reporters-writers from around the country.
