Rita is known as the poetess of love and dreams. All the rivers of her
poetic experience possessed throughout years, meet in the sea of this book
where the sparrow of poetry soars high above worldly borders, prejudice,
poverty, violence, envy, sadness and pain...flying above meadows, hills,
mountains towards the sun, wishing to leave at least one fingerprint on the
canvass of creativity, prophesizing divine love, laying the basis of her
short poems on the ground of the following haiku:
as he sleeps
I watch the buds
of the dream
