Bio

Armando H. Corbelle (Catbird 55)-was born in Havana, Cuba and except for early childhood has lived in the United States. He called New York City's South Bronx 'home' for several years and spent youth and his college years in the rapidly changing cities of Miami and Tampa. But he is far from a dweller of the Sunbelt's urban sprawl and concrete canyons, having lived in college towns and neighborly rural places in the American South. He found his interest in poetry inspired by nature and expressed in haiku and tanka poems. He has worked in other poetic short forms in different stages of his creative life. His interest in the fibonacci poetic form is relatively recent but he has always found a fascination with the power and magic of numbers.

The
Silences
Falling snow
Just before dawn
the last breath of one just dead
A wisp of vapor rising in silent expectation

White
Tombstones
Small flags
Marking those gone
Along with the dreams, hopes
of a generation yielding its youth to immortality
