searching the peach clouds
cache of the moon we find
in evening twilight
we sleep in the wild bower
lulled by snug breeze of flower
Good night,my friends!

Evening aurora
Rushing thick orange mantles
Swirling wild and free
Cover the day’s teal blue sky
Light furtively vanishes
Happy July, my dear friends!

Stay With Me – A Poem by Anita Bacha
Stay with me
Stay with me as flushes of pink
Stain the petals of the rose
Stay with me as the light
Hovers over the burning wick
Stay with me as the wine
Imbues my breath and thine
Stay with me as the moon
Smiles in the dark night

Thank you for your visit, 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.
