Haiku Drops!!

Rebirth

autumn leaves falling:
buried seeds look up hoarding
hope to grow anew.

***************

Story of Life

Dew drops winking just
momentarily, to fade:
Story of life, lived.

Usha, 12 April, 07

******************

Paradise.

in crystal water –

under the blue sky: a lush

green – paradise mine.

Usha, 20 April, ’07

********************

Lightning!

cosmic energy:

pent up fury, just unleashed –

a bolt from the blue!

Usha, 15 May, 2007

*******************

Rain.

Softly falling drops-

touches my soul – harmony!

in a shower to cleanse!

Usha, 10 May, ’07

*************************

Onam – Haiku in Tandem

A celebration

Flowers, hues, spirit of nature

Festival Divine!!!

Richness of colour

Promise of Prosperity

Onam: life relished!!

Haiku is Japanese lyric poetry, composed, usually in 3 lines of 5-7-5 syllables each, on some aspect of nature and the seasons. A very amateur attempt here:)

The picture for the Haiku “Rain” is a gift from a dear poet, Shalini Devraj. The others are pictures taken by my brother and son, on which I’ve attempted the writing with the help of Photoshop:)
