With heavy hearts, the New Orleans Haiku Society shares the sad news that one of our own, Vaughn Banting, has passed away. Vaughn was a dear friend who was an inspiration to all. His extensive website offers us a glimpse of the amazing life he led with joie de vivre. http://www.vlbanting.com/
Below are a few haiku written as a tribute to our beloved friend:
flying high
above all worldly care

under pines

in the midst
of war
collecting orchids
-Emma Pierson
to live life
with infirmities
Vaughn showed us the way
