Michelle V. Alkerton (formerly Lohnes) is an internationally published poet who cannot contain her excitement when inspired. She thrives best when close to nature and enjoys the therapy her writing, art, photography and other creative outlets provide. She is pleased that her English language haiku and related forms continue to be published in both print and online journals.

I shake white sand
from my sleeping bag
