Bio Sketch
Gabriel Sawicki lives in Poland and is a robotics engineer. He likes traveling, heavy metal music, fantasy books and RPG games. He started writing haiku several years ago and some of them appeared in online journals.
The comparisons (such as, man-made vs natural, sociopolitical vs biological..etc.) are well explored, and the use of a symbolically rich bird adds aesthetic depth to the poem.
