Christmas Eve --
rise and fall of grandma’s rosary
during the bingo

奶奶的念珠上下起伏

Bio Sketch
Maria
Laura Valente is an Italian poet. Lately, she has won awards in several
italian haiku and poetry contests. Her English haiku and senryu have
been published in many journals and columns. Her new Italian poetry
book, Lustralia – Abluzioni Liriche, has just been published. Her haiku collection will be published in 2017.
L1 establishes the thematic and emotional context while the collocation of rosary and bingo enhances the "hai" (comic)aspect of the poem.
