Lorne Henry lives in the countryside of the Hunter River Valley in NSW Australia. She has been writing haiku since 1992 but has only recently learnt how they should be written. Also new to her is the tanka form, giving a different scope in expression.
Lorne manages Hunter Arts Diary, a website for the arts in the Hunter River Valley, NSW, Australia.

at a traffic light, i watched a vendor place his coke cup on the blistering(miami) sidewalk. this lizard materialized on the cup’s top. i imagined enjoying the coolness of the remaining ice.
