Bio Sketch
Nikolay
Grankin lives in the South of Russia. He has been writing haiku for
about ten years, two of them in English. His haiku have been published
in some online and print journals in both Russian and English.
L1 sketches a seductive scene while Ls 2&3 reveal age differences in values through concrete and evocative imagery.
ReplyDeleteThematically speaking, this haiku reminds me of another poem about age differences in values:
a young thing
at the cosmetics counter
gives me advice ...
I need cream for my wrinkles
she needs age for her wisdom
