My soul pines for the full moon
and, I behold your light

Your book of poetry
Dried roses in the old chest
Legacy of love
Gone too early beloved
Yellow pages soaked with tears

Thank you for your visit, my dear friends
dripping and moist leaves
energized in morn sunbeams

in the chilling breeze
russet leaves detach and fall
to embrace the earth
Happy Autumn 🍂
Thank you for your visit

October fallen leaves
Heaping under the oak tree
To be swept away
Showers of autumn
A chill dance in the wind
Leaves fall in silence
In this autumn time
We behold nature’s showcase
Of aging and age
Autumnal showers
A steaming mug of milk tea
Breakfast at the pub
Nature’s master plan
Leaves put on attractive hues
Pride comes before Fall
Autumn butterfly
Open your fine wings and fly
A storm is blowing
Thank you for viewing and reading my dear friends.
Happy October.
Anita Bacha
Autumn equinox
Summer rose bud of today
Morrow fall petals
Happy Autumn Equinox, dear friends and readers.

Early morning dew
Condensing on single grass blade
Garden gleams with grace

I was immensely honored and pleased to be the Special Guest of the Ambassador of Japan in Mauritius , H.E KAWAGUCHI Shuichiro at the WORLD PREMIERE PIANO RECITAL, HAIKU ON MAURITIUS (2022) inspired by Pink Moon by Anita Bacha by World Acclaimed Japanese Pianist and Composer, HIRAI MOTOKI at the Caudan Arts Centre,Mauritius on 31 August 2022.
I was also overwhelmed with joy that HIRAI MOTOKI drew his inspiration to compose the fabulous piece HAIKU ON MAURITIUS from my book PINK MOON-AN ANTHOLOGY OF HAIKU POEMS (2022) self published by Amazon.
Acclaimed worldwide for his imagination and sensitivity, London based Japanese composer/artist, HIRAI MOTOKI ,has appeared in over 100 countries across the globe, performing in prestigious venues including New York’s Carnegie Hall,Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw, Vienna’s Konzerthaus and London’s Wigmore Hall.
The Guardian – Hirai Motoki “a most brilliant and sensitive musical talent.”
The Piano Concert was a great success and included two Mauritius Premiere and exclusive solo recitals of J.SBach: Ardante Maestoso ,Mozart:Adagio. Schubert:By the Sea ,Schumann :Taumerel. Albéniz:Tango. Liszt:Maiden’s Wish,Chopin:Nocturne and Grieg: Wedding Day at Troidhaugen by Maestro Hirai Motoki
A memorable evening packed with mind blowing emotions for the audience and for me.

The sound of waves
Crashing on the seashore
A call for prayer

The cruel wind blows,
Cold feet in thick woolen socks,
We lit the fireplace.
A slice of sun glides,
Under closed window curtains,
A cockerel crows.
Breakfast at the farm,
Fried eggs, bacon, and baked beans,
Tea with fresh cow’s milk.
Poppies in the field,
Glossy red under the sun,
Dancing in the breeze.
Barefoot on the grass,
Along rows of wildflowers,
We run happily.
Cut fragrant lilacs,
We borrow our neighbor’s vase,
Living room looks cute.
In the back garden,
Cheerful songs on drying line,
Birds poop on washing.
Under the plum tree,
Drinking home-made lemonade,
We sit side by side.
The sun is going down,
Grey clouds gather in the sky,
Quickly we move in.
Snuggly in our bed,
In the darkness of the night,
We hear the rainfalls.
Good morning,dear friends.
Thank you for viewing and reading my haibun. Hope you enjoyed it.
Anita Bacha.
