rime of winter days

stranded banyan hibernates

through curtain of light

Alabaster Moon – Tanka – A Poem by Anita Bacha

Alabaster moon

Hearkening to thunderstorm

Petrified seamen

Lost in the midst of nowhere

Haunting memories of home

Rainbow Butterfly – Haiku – A Poem by Anita Bacha

bright morning sunlight
awakens in a shudder
rainbow butterfly

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.

Photo my own clicked at the Pullman, St.Pancras,London in June 2019.

In that month I was attending a book event, the Jaipur Literary Festival at the British Library. I seized the opportunity to book a room at Pullman and, to kill two birds with one stone, enjoying the luxury of a hotel room vis à vis the British Library and spending memorable time with world acclaimed writers, to name a few, Irving Finkel ,author of ‘ The Lifeboat that saved the world’ , Shashi Tharoor, who has authored many books including ‘ Why I am a Hindu’ and Marcus Du Sautoy the author of the amazing’ The Creative Code – How AI is learning to write,paint and think.’

I have read the three books and other books I bought at the event but, I fell in love with the books of the Master of Haiku, Matsuo Bashō!

Hence, today’s haiku is my offering to you, my dear friends, Thank you for your visit.

Anita Bacha.
