Look at me and hear me
Because I’m here just for that
I am your moon
And your moonlight too
I am your flower garden
And your water too
I have come all this way
Eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you
O Sweet Bitterness !
I will soothe and heal you
I will bring you roses
I too have been covered with thorns
Rumi
Perpetual eve
Sunflower tints thwart the shore
Sky drapes in saffron

Thrilled to have my haiku selected and featured in week 47 issue of JSHaikuCorner –
early morning mist
lifting from the green prairie
unveils lovely day
Congrats to all the other writers and poets

Walking down the street,
A rare beauty holds my breath –
Blue orchids in bloom.

Why haiku, my dear friends and readers?
Traditional and structured, this short form of Japanese poetry is well-known for its rule of 5/7/5: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five again in the third. Haikus are known for their ability to paint a vivid picture in just a few words. A practice of artistic discipline, their minimal nature forces writers to pare down to only the essentials—making each word, or even syllable, count.
“The Old Pond” by Matsuo Bashō
An old silent pond
A frog jumps into the pond—
Splash! Silence again.
Thank you for your visit, my dear friends
rising sun at dawn
awakening of the soul

night’s alluring gems
I find a will of the wisp
in the midst of space

Thank you for your visit, my dear friends
wisp of first blush fog
straggling through the sleeping tree
crimson red leaves wake
