Golden Rays – Tanka – A Poem by Anita Bacha

Golden rays emerge 


Blushing luster on your face

 
A gleam in your eyes 


Extrapolate in tandem 


Worth zillion stars in the sky

a gentle breeze afloat

roaming in eve rushed traffic

feel roadside beauty

blossoms with mustard flowers

fleeting fields of green and gold

In demure blue sky

Walking down the street,

A rare beauty holds my breath –

Blue orchids in bloom.

Why haiku, my dear friends and readers?

Traditional and structured, this short form of Japanese poetry is well-known for its rule of 5/7/5: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five again in the third. Haikus are known for their ability to paint a vivid picture in just a few words. A practice of artistic discipline, their minimal nature forces writers to pare down to only the essentials—making each word, or even syllable, count. 

“The Old Pond” by Matsuo Bashō

An old silent pond

A frog jumps into the pond—

Splash! Silence again.

Thank you for your visit, my dear friends

Scattered clouds – A haiku poem by Anita Bacha

scattered broken clouds
flying like a bird above
the mind blowing Alps

Sun Is Going Down – A Tanka Poem by Anita Bacha

Sun is going down,

Silvery ripples yo-yo,

Neath catamaran,

Morn waves roar and crash on shore,

On horizon sailing boats .

Thank you for viewing and reading, dear friends.

Happy Saturday.

Happy Summer Day.
