Bio Sketch
Pat Tompkins is an editor in the San Francisco Bay Area. She likes combining haiku with prose in haibun, which have appeared in bottle rockets, Thema, Haibun Today, and Contemporary Haibun Online.
There is a simile relationship established between the two parts of the poem. The symmetrical beauty and long-lasting quality of camellias give the reader a clue to the quality of these unpublished poems.
