Free form Haiku


SOME HAIKU

Unattached--
drops of water on
lotus leaf


Two lizards
inside the switchboard
turned on


Her birth--
a poem dancing
in the eyes


Still a child--
embracing a breast
sleeps her man


Still fresh
in the hanky's fold--
jasmine


Her presence
some alien sensation
in my veins


Stoops to set
pleats of her saree
mid-August


After the party
empty chairs in the lawn--
now moon and I

"Her birth--
a poem dancing
in the eyes"

that brings life to poetry, poetry to life :)

"Her presence
some alien sensation
in my veins"

this one is powerful as well, (they all are, but those two sections are the ones that speak to me the loudest)

each haiku could stand on its own as a separate poem, yet they all come together to form one longer, beautiful set of words that fit together perfectly...

rating this one with a well-deserved 5.


and off to read some more :)
