anchored for the night
in the lee of an island
two amorous souls

Opalescent beads
Last night showers on her folds

Afternoon drizzle
Drops of rain from the tree leaves
Slake the thirsty rose

Thank you for reading, my dear friends.
Above haiku poem is an excerpt from Pink Moon – An Anthology of Haiku Poems, my debut haiku collection (2022).
For more, kindly check out
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.
Anita Bacha
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.

Happy Evening
The sea pulls its waves
Molten colors on pebbles
Such a lovely dusk
Birds fly far away
Leaving a quill on the shore
A poem starts here
Anita Bacha
Good morning my dear friends.
Happy start of the week
Dawn of a New Year
I see flowers opening
Heart of man blooming
Anita Bacha

Wetting rose petals
In spring time reprise beauty
Of waning blossom

Winter sakura
Tenderly wrapped in blue snow
A lingering scent

Happy Wednesday
Many thanks to the editor, Kathleen Trocmet and to Scarlet Dragonfly Journal for selecting my haiku and for the feature in the December issue of their esteemed journal.
Drawn by her sweet scent
I stare with verve at a rose
On a hearth of leaves
