Mother and I : Haiku





My Heart is My Mum and the Green Cutie..Ah! That's me! :D


Time captures
Blossoming Wisteria as spring arrives
Lumbers now wet

Manuscript arrives —
Archives enveloped in dust
Wrinkles gurgle in laughter



The seed bursts—
The naked people in factories
Soak cotton in blood

Struggling pastures in haste
Let damage be done in sprinkles
Penumbra arrives

Smile—
The stars glitter in return

Eyes speak of the miles in between





Haiku, is a poetic device that originated from Japan. I have in the above phrases, used both 5-7-5 as well as free verse Haikus. Hope you like them!

  1. Your poetry-writing powers are on a high very high pedestal. In contrast, I am such a poor poet. When it comes to prose, I am slightly better. :)
