About the Writer


Christine R Milne

Christine is a poet who loves writing haiku. Some of them have been published in haiku journals and anthologies and also in Ink Sweat and Tears. Luckily other poems pop into her head. Most of them are for children which is not surprising as she enjoys being a teacher and a mother. Also, creating poems that connect with a child’s view of the world is really special. She has been published in The Dirigible Balloon.
