Bio Sketch
Roberta Beach Jacobson (http://www.robertajacobson.com) is a humorist from Iowa, USA.
In the language of dreams, the attic symbolizes one's subconscious mind, and it resonates well with one's "childhood dreams /wrapped in white linen." And the connotation of a trunk adds emotional weight to Roberta's middle-of-the-story haiku.
