The rose has fallen,
On the stem, a bud opens,
A new phase of life,
On a bed of thorns, she thrives,
Bleeding words of innocence.

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.
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.

Spotlight Poetry – Clouds – A Poem by Matsuo Bashō
I’m a Butterfly 🦋
I am not flirtatious. I adore people and I love to ramble from place to place.
Everywhere I go and every new face I encounter,
I leave a piece of my heart.
Anita Bacha
Sopping Flower 🌺
You open to me in the heat of the sun,
Your purple color runs in my veins,
Your beauty is a divine perfume,
My life is imbued with your quintessence;
Once you teach me how to dance,
We twirl and we swirl in the wind,
A joyous song in our heart,
Heedless of the hammering rain;
Secretly in the chill of dusk,
You fold your dying petals,
Enclosing me in the depth of your soul.
