by Neal Whitman, Poetry Prof
Last year, my seasonal haiku started with roving in a basket that would turn into a scarf. This morning I walked into town with it wound round my neck –– No! Not the roving. The scarf. What’s new this year? This haiku is inspired by my friend, Richard Platt, whose first novel, As One Devil to Another (Tyndale House Publishers), will be in the bookshops April 1 and already is previewed on Amazon.com. Will spare you the saga of pen to paper to press.
