When poetry defines one´s Destiny, Meet Marrily
Lifestyles Issue 50, March 4, 2006 by V. Nyakabau
When Marrily Runoona sent us an email about her life as poet, our curiosity about the 24-year-old Gemini who is based in Germany was instantly set off and we decided to have an online one on one. Everyone loves achievers, last year, the born rhymester was nominated for the prestigious Poet of the Year by the International Society of Poets based in the USA and for such a great achievement, and she was awarded with a silver bowl and award medallion. Apart from excelling in the art of Poetry, an academic, Marrily is currently studying Economics at the University of Paderborn in Germany.
And she writes like a poet…
itsbho: Tell us about Germany, how long you have you been there, the people, the food, what you find really strange.
M: Living in Germany is splendid! I am impressed by the quality of life, education and infrastructure. I have lived here since the 1st January 2002. Germans are friendly, direct and disciplined people who stick to rules. Talking of food, I prefer English to German dishes. As a family oriented person, I find it strange that family bonds don’t seem to be very strong in this country.
itsbho: Your life in Zimbabwe, your family, where you stay, what you love doing when you’re here?
M: Born an only child, I spent the early years of my childhood in Jerera. I loved traveling especially taking breaks at local resorts and in the countryside.
