Today the sky is deep green,
The grass is sapphire blue,
I walk up the heath,
To say a last farewell to you,
A well kept secret is this flower,
That didn’t bloom in the blue grass,
Yet its sweet fragrance will linger,
As far as memories will last.

The emojiku came about byCindy Georgakasand Goff playing emoji tennis in the WP comments box. It was a natural step to take it one stage further and develop from being just a fleeting form of discourse into something more poetically constructive.
In the case of an emojiku the source image is an emoji. The emojiku is made up of at least three different emoji. Each emoji being the inspiration for one lineof the short poem.
The second blogger responds by writing their emojiku and forwarding it back to the original blogger; who, in turn responds by writing a counterpoint emojiku using the same emoji images.

PINK MOON
Hi friends, writers, and readers,
I am glad to share with you the publication of my new book, PINK MOON, an anthology of haiku poems. I have made a random choice of 365 out of 700 three lines poems written over a space of two years, thinking fondly that you may wish to read one poem a day during the year.
What prompted me to write the book?
Haiku is traditionally a Japanese poem consisting of three short lines that do not rhyme.
The erudite consider haiku to be more than a style of poetry. It is a way of observing the physical world and seeing something beyond, more profound, close to the very nature of existence, and to an essential vision of life.
Traditional Japanese poetry consists of three lines that contain a kireji, or cutting word, 17 syllables on a 5,7,5 pattern, and a kigo, or seasonal reference.

Tropical Hues – Haiku Poems by Anita Bacha
The call of the sea
Holds me spellbound as I surf
Up and down the waves
Sunrise golden blades
Slicing coconut tree leaves
Green peacock feathers
The call of the sea
Holds me spellbound as I surf
Up and down the waves
Ethereal sunset
Evening wraps our desires
Nothing is amiss
From light to darkness
Stark and bereft of colors
Joyful tomorrow
Rising sun at dawn
Awakening of the soul
A moment in time
Thank you for viewing and reading, my dear friends and readers.
Mauritius is a beautiful inland in the Indian Ocean. From morning to night, it brims with exquisite colors. Mark Twain said it all ‘Mauritius was made first and then heaven ; heaven was copied after Mauritius’.

Summer Vibes – Haiku Poems by Anita Bacha
On the wings of dawn
Pretty sunflowers unfold
Summer morn kudos
Intertwined fingers
Summer floral parasol
Ethereal moments
In the summer heat
Butterfly sits on best loved
Garden cone flower
Tropical sunshine
Flit butterfly can’t resist
Kissing orange bloom
In the summer heat
Blue wisteria blazing
Over garden wall
Opalescent beads
Last night showers on her folds
Yellow hibiscus
Many more flowers and haikus to come, my dear friends and readers. Enjoy these for the moment, brought to you with love.
