Garden gleams with grace
A haiku poem inspired by Goff James Poem Autumn’s Fields Down Chilled

A few more haiku to welcome the month of September. Hope you enjoy them,my dear friends and readers:
Perpetual eve
Sunflower tints thwart the shore
Sky drapes in saffron
The sea pulls its waves
Molten colors on pebbles
What a lovely dusk
Birds fly far away
Leaving a quill on the shore
A poem starts here
Mind blowing landscape
Arousing expanse fondness
Ink flows from my heart
Haunting prance of waves
A blaze of rites and colors
Nibbana on earth
Thank you for viewing and reading

Beyond scalding heat,
Drifting in the lush blueness,
A luscious cool moon;
Lying on the sandy beach,
Soft ripples caress my toes.
Anita Bacha
Happy reading my dear friends.
On flooded rice fields,
The rhythm of the falling rain,
An ode to monsoon;
Children splash in soiled puddle,
Green frogs musically croak.
Good morning and happy Monday,my dear friends!
Happy Reading.
Anita Bacha
The sound of waves
Crashing on the seashore
A call for prayer

Transience of beauty,
Glossy blossoms writhe and fall,
In a matter of time;
Summer flows in my garden,
Perky buds open their folds.
Anita Bacha.
Good morning,my dear friends and readers.
Thank you for viewing and reading.
Sun is going down,
Silvery ripples yo-yo,
Neath catamaran,
Morn waves roar and crash on shore,
On horizon sailing boats .
Thank you for viewing and reading, dear friends.
Happy Saturday.
Happy Summer Day.
Anita Bacha.

Tailspin autumn wind,
Dry leaves crush under my boots,
Spring is far away,
Olive trees in full blossom,
Pedicured feet in flip flops.

Dear friends and readers,
This is my first tanka poem. I hope that you enjoy it.
What is a tanka poem? One may ask.Is it similar to the haiku poem ?
A tanka or short poem originates in Japan just like the haiku poem.It is a free verse, 31 syllables poem written in five lines. The basic structure of the tanka is 5-7-5-7-7, whereas the haiku consists of three lines and 17 syllables in a 5-7-5 format.
Furthermore, the third line shifts from the imagery in the beginning lines to a reflective metaphor in the closing lines
Many more tanka poems to come for your eyes only.
Thank you for reading.
Anita Bacha.
