Bio Sketch
Debbi Antebi exhales oxygen while writing poems. Her work has appeared in a variety of print and online journals and anthologies. She lives in London, UK with her husband and books.
The juxtaposition of troubled personal relationship (L1) and icy condition (Ls 2&3)is poignantly effective , and these two phrases, "back and forth" and "drop by drop," enhance the visually and emotionally suggestive power of the haiku.
