Photo my own clicked at the Pullman, St.Pancras,London in June 2019. 

In that month I was attending a book event, the Jaipur Literary Festival at the British Library. I seized the opportunity to book a room at Pullman and, to kill two birds with one stone, enjoying the luxury of a hotel room vis à vis the British Library and spending memorable time with world acclaimed writers, to name a few, Irving Finkel ,author of ‘ The Lifeboat that saved the world’ , Shashi Tharoor, who has authored many books including ‘ Why I am a Hindu’ and Marcus Du Sautoy the author of the amazing’ The Creative Code – How AI is learning to write,paint and think.’

I have read the three books and other books I bought at the event but, I fell in love with the books of the Master of Haiku, Matsuo Bashō!

Hence, today’s haiku is my offering to you, my dear friends, Thank you for your visit. 

Anita Bacha.

Author: Anita Bacha

Creative and inspirational writer of stories, poetry, and haikus I am also an addictive reader of novels, poetry, haiku, and children's storybooks. I am the author of SOUL POETRY a book of inspirational poems, verses, and quotes published by Partridge India (2015) The Maker of Miracles (2006) published in the USA by Dorrance Publishing and My Journey with God (2008) published under the banner of Sai Towers, India is the narration about my spiritual journey. My new poetry book INK Echo of life and love published by Éditions de L’Ocean Indien (2019) in Mauritius, my birth country is a collection of love poems extolling the feelings and desires of women. The Princess and the Crow is my first storybook for children, released by Austin Macauley Publishers London in March 2019. Two years later, I was inspired to write and published two other books - WAKASHIO, a storybook for children, and PINK MOON - AN ANTHOLOGY OF HAIKU POEMS. I love to write. I guess my writing has a special cliché of island 🌴 life, natural, unpretentious, and full of beauty.

    1. Many thanks for dropping in Goff and, for commenting on my post. Truly speaking I would have rather opted for the white egg’s omelet,, bacon, baked beans, sauteed mushrooms , chocolate croissant, white bread toast ,jam, English breakfast tea with milk and sugar but alas ! I was on a special diet prescribed by my gp. 🌹❣️

    1. Thank you loads, Filipa ! You won’t believe it! There’s a new haiku group I have joined on Facebook. It’s The Daily Haiku and, today’s prompt word is smoke. Out of the blue, smoke salmon and my stay at Pull flashed before my eyes. A haiku was born! Thank you once more for reading ❣️
