Grinch – Haiku by Anita Bacha

Green Grinch

Green Grinch steals the sweets
Who pudding and sugarplums
Small heart wants the treats

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a children’s Christmas book by Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel written in rhymed verse with illustrations by the author. It follows the Grinch, a cranky, solitary creature who attempts to thwart the public’s Christmas plans by stealing Christmas gifts and decorations from the homes of the nearby town of Whoville on Christmas Eve. As a result of the townspeople’s response, the Grinch realizes that Christmas is not all about money and presents.

I am one of the lucky ones who has read this absorbing #storybook published in 1957 when my dad well aware of my love for books
Offered me‘How the Grinch stole #Christmas by #Dr Seuss for my birthday.

I remember with pride and nostalgia the subtle ways of my parents to encourage me and my siblings to read and write.

Christmas is not all about glitter,money and presents.

Happy Sunday!

Happy Tuesday, dear friends

Leaves – Haikus – Poems by Anita Bacha

Splendor of the Fall
Tiny boats floating lively –
In the silent pool

A sad fallen leaf
Aware that life is finite –
Curbs her soaring self

Autumn Equinox
Leaves shudder under the breeze –
Embracing the change

Autumn leaves
From green to amber red –
Waiting to fall

SOLITARY HAWK – Haiku – A Poem by Anita Bacha

solitary hawk
soaring as white clouds –
in sterling blue sky

As far as I know it is a blessing to see a hawk.

It is also believed by many that the hawk is a messenger bird. Usually when we see a hawk it means to pay attention because a message is coming to you. Hawks represent clear sightedness, being observant, our far memory and guardianship. They also bring courage, wisdom, illumination, creativity and truth. Hawks give us the ability to see the larger picture of life.( source Google) .

Happy Reading, my friends.

My dear haiku friends , I have recently joined a haiku group, ‘ The Daily Haiku’ on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The moderators come up with a prompt word every day plus one extra on weekends. Haikuists are invited to submit their poems to the group for likes and comments by the group members. It’s real fun. An addicted haiku lover , I can’t resist the temptation of contributing to the groups, bearing in mind my doctor’s advice to avoid the internet coz of my aging eyes. O la la!

I have edited my original haiku poem’ sleeping butterfly’

Sleeping Butterfly – Haiku – A Poem by Anita Bacha

To contribute to The Daily Haiku with a 5/75 poem using the prompt word ‘rainbow’.

The rainbow butterfly’s symbolism carries a deep spiritual meaning representing hope, happiness, renewal and the promise of better things to come.

Happy start of the month of October, my dear friends.
