Bio Sketch
Freddy Ben-Arroyo is a retired professor of Structural Engineering at the Technion--Israel Institute of Technology. Born in Bulgaria, he emigrated to Israel during WWII and since then lives in Haifa. He began writing haiku 25 years ago, after Zen training. He is married, has one daughter, three grandchildren and two great-grandsons.
The contrasts (past vs present, man-made show vs natural marvel, laughter vs silence..,etc) are well-explored in this minimalist haiku.
ReplyDeleteA good juxtaposition which leaves room for interpretation. Congrats, Freddy.
