Grinch – Haiku by Anita Bacha

Green Grinch

Green Grinch steals the sweets
Who pudding and sugarplums
Small heart wants the treats

Anita Bacha

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a children’s Christmas book by Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel written in rhymed verse with illustrations by the author. It follows the Grinch, a cranky, solitary creature who attempts to thwart the public’s Christmas plans by stealing Christmas gifts and decorations from the homes of the nearby town of Whoville on Christmas Eve. As a result of the townspeople’s response, the Grinch realizes that Christmas is not all about money and presents.

I am one of the lucky ones who has read this absorbing #storybook published in 1957 when my dad well aware of my love for books
Offered me‘How the Grinch stole #Christmas by #Dr Seuss for my birthday.

I remember with pride and nostalgia the subtle ways of my parents to encourage me and my siblings to read and write.

Christmas is not all about glitter,money and presents.

Leaves – Haikus – Poems by Anita Bacha

Splendor of the Fall 
Tiny boats floating lively –
In the silent pool 

A sad fallen leaf
Aware that life is finite –
Curbs her soaring self 

Autumn Equinox
Leaves shudder under the breeze –
Embracing the change

Autumn leaves 
From green to amber red –
Waiting to fall

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

Haiku Poems by Anita Bacha

Many thanks to Japan Society London for selecting my poem as Haiku of the Week on June 22 2022.

Dear friends and readers,

Find out more selected haiku poems from other haiku poets at

japansociety.org.uk/haiku-corner

Sharing a few other haiku poems with you here. Trust you will find pleasure in reading them. As the Master of Haiku, Matsuo Bashō reflects-

“Reading haiku is as much an art as writing it. The reader needs to pause and listen to the silences, to feel the spaces between the words and to journey into the depth of many multi-colored words.“

Strolling down the beach
The smell of seaweeds throw back
Heartache memories

One yellow blossom
Midst of golden barley field
A poem is born

Sweet white peonies
Your scent on my pillows
Nights without days

June wheat fields are gold
Basketfuls of freshly baked
Bread in every home

That’s about all for today, dear friends. Thank you for reading. Happy Friday. Blissful end of the week.

Anita Bacha.
