Bio Sketch
Marilyn Humbert lives in the Northern suburbs of Sydney NSW Australia. Her tanka and haiku appear in international and Australian journals, anthologies and online. Her free verse poems have been awarded prizes in competitions and some have been published.
Visually tense L1 sets the tone and mood while a twist in L3 makes this sports haiku emotionally effective.
