Thank you for your visit, my dear friends!
Happy afternoon !
Under the showering rain,
Shaken by the swells of the gale,
A sweet, pastel pink, begonia,
A petite, elusive begonia,
Beckons my heart in pain;
A flood of love carries me away,
Drifting me tenderly at bay.

Begonia is a short poem from my poetry book‘INK – Echo of life and love’. Published by the biggest publishing house ‘Éditions de L’Ocean Indien’ of Mauritius in 2019.
Sadly, that book is available for purchase solely on the local market. On the other hand and, happily I have a big audience in my birth country. I am loved by the beautiful people of Mauritius and my work is applauded by many.

Thank you for your visit, my dear friends. I hope you are enjoying my Autumn haiku poems. I seize the opportunity to thank the Japan Society London for selecting and featuring my haiku MID OCTOBER in their week 40 issue.

Congrats to all the other featured poets.
Gazing in wonder
Beauty of autumnal face
Thus, leaves me breathless
There’s music in haiku poetry. I am inspired to compose and to write today’s haiku by listening to the breathless veena recital of
Shankar Mahadevan whilst gazing at the beauty of autumn’s changing of colors.
Enjoy,my dear friends.

The flower doesn’t dream of the 🐝
It blossoms and the 🐝 comes

These pictures were clicked by me last July at Borehamwood in England.
The A1 shooting group in Borehamwood is a family-run clay target shooting facility offering English Sporting, Olympic Trap and Helice.
Every summer, I visit the shooting ground with my family for the pleasure of holding a shotgun, and to enjoy a walk in the countryside.
I was happily surprised to find bumblebees in a bush on a sidewalk.
I stopped with my IPhone and caught some beautiful pictures of bumblebees romancing with flowers, undisturbed by the deafening sound of shooting. They were peaceful and happy, totally ignorant of the world around them.
The flowers, I observed, were not budding, new blooms or half blooms or full blossoms for that matter but withering flowers, some had lost their petals and others were dying.
Yet, see the magic of Nature, bumblebees were swarming around them, thirsting for their nectar.
Probably Nature wants to teach us a lesson, I thought, about women.
A woman, like a flower, never aged.
