Bio Sketch
Marilyn
Humbert lives in the Northern Suburbs of Sydney NSW surrounded by bush.
Her pastimes include writing free verse poetry, tanka, tanka prose and
related genre. She is the leader of Bottlebrush Tanka Group and member
of the Huddle and Bowerbird Tanka Groups. Her tanka appears in
Australian and international journals.
Marilyn's haiku effectively builds, line by line, to an emotionally powerful ending that has the most weight and reveals the theme of loss of life. And on second reading, L1 effectively carries symbolic significance, making the loss in L3 memorable.
