Plains and Mountains Region
This region includes Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
The Plains and Mountains Region of the HSA consists of nine states, so its members are scattered—the largest concentration tending to be in Colorado. The size of the region and its small membership numbers have made it difficult for haiku poets to sustain groups that can meet on a regular basis. While forming groups has been and will continue to be a challenge, a number of Plains and Mountains members have distinguished themselves as individuals within the HSA and the greater haiku community as editors as well as poets, with haiku published in the leading haiku journals. Through the Internet, Plains and Mountains members stay up to date with the HSA and the haiku community, and have made meaningful contacts with other haiku poets inside and outside the Plains and Mountains region. If you would like to know more about us, or learn about the opportunities available to you in the region, please contact the Plains and Mountains regional coordinator.

Patricia Nolan is a cofounder of the Colorado Springs haiku group. Her poems have appeared in Frogpond, the HSA anthology In Pine Shade, in When the Temple Bell Stops, and many other publications. Her sumi-e, oils, and watercolors live in private homes and businesses around the world. After a long career in education, then a second career in outdoor adventure, Pat now finds inspiration for words and paintings while playing on rivers, trails, meadows, and snowfields. Living in Japan for a number of years taught her to blend Eastern sensitivities with the Western landscape in her writing and art.
sun mists
the wet trail
hear the unsaid
silver water
gray feathers red crowns
cranes need no jewels
bald eagle feather
falls on snow
