Yakamoz – A Poem by Anita Bacha

On a fleeting mystic night 

In the sleepy waters of the sea 

I behold a stunning yakamoz

Alluring ripples of silver and light blue floating

Bewitched by the sight 

I drown myself in her beguiling soul  

Anita Bacha

‘Yakamoz’ is a Japanese word meaning the reflection of the moon on the surface of water, it can be a lake,a river or the sea or any other expanse of water.

I have just learned this word.It strikes me by its beauty.

Charity begins at home

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?

If I had a million dollars that I have earned by a lifetime hard work, I would give it to my grandchildren.

The Fall – Tanka – A Poem by Anita Bacha

Blowing strong winds


Robed in auburn leaves 


The Fall dances


Moving on lonely 

Embracing the change

Whorling auburn leaves
Whispers of autumn embrace

Radiance of the sun fades
Scented chrysanthemum blooms

Golden Rays – Tanka – A Poem by Anita Bacha

Golden rays emerge 


Blushing luster on your face

 
A gleam in your eyes 


Extrapolate in tandem 


Worth zillion stars in the sky

Legacy – A Poem by Anita Bacha

In her steps,I tread

Her love a guiding light

With every word she said

She showed me what is right

Lovely as a summer day

She taught me by example

In her own gentle caring way

Her wisdom a precious sample

I picked her pen when she left

Her legacy in my hands

In my poems and in my writes

My mom’s spirit forever stands

Anita Bacha
