Bio Sketch
Goda
V. Bendoraitiene lives in Klaipeda, Lithuania. She studied English at
Vilnius Pedagogical University. At the age of 48, she was inspired to
write haiku and joined the Lithuanian site for Literature. She
publishes poetry, arranges national haiku contests, and takes part in
the contests as a member of the jury.
L1 sets the theme while the visually and thematically unexpected last line makes this travel haiku emotionally evocative and relatable.
ReplyDeleteThis haiku reminds me of the story about Lot's wife in Genesis 19.
