Bio Sketch
Rebecca Drouilhet is a fifty seven year old retired registered nurse. She first encountered and fell in love with haiku poetry when her mother used it as part of her curriculum. She taught classes for the intellectually gifted. Rebecca enjoy reading and writing haiku, playing word games and spending time with her large family.
L1 successfully sets the context, scenic and thematic ('life is like a river') while multifaceted Ls 2&3 work effectively on at least two levels, literal and metaphoric, inviting the reader to fill in the gaps between the two parts of the poem with his/her lived experience.
