Happy New Week, My Friends

Sun bursting in light
Flying above cotton clouds –
In demure blue sky


Happy Summer Weekend, My Friends

Evening aurora
Rushing thick orange mantles
Swirling wild and free
Cover the day’s teal blue sky
Light furtively vanishes

Happy July, my dear friends!

My dear haiku friends , I have recently joined a haiku group, ‘ The Daily Haiku’ on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The moderators come up with a prompt word every day plus one extra on weekends. Haikuists are invited to submit their poems to the group for likes and comments by the group members. It’s real fun. An addicted haiku lover , I can’t resist the temptation of contributing to the groups, bearing in mind my doctor’s advice to avoid the internet coz of my aging eyes. O la la!
I have edited my original haiku poem’ sleeping butterfly’
Sleeping Butterfly – Haiku – A Poem by Anita Bacha
To contribute to The Daily Haiku with a 5/75 poem using the prompt word ‘rainbow’.
The rainbow butterfly’s symbolism carries a deep spiritual meaning representing hope, happiness, renewal and the promise of better things to come.
Happy start of the month of October, my dear friends.

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

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’.
