HAIKUS


1 - Contradictions

I think I know now
a lone tree and silent wind
can't be together

2 - Request

speak to me, waterfall !
can you hear my soft voice,
as I call out your name?

3 - Conversations

flurries, they speak to
each other, in sylvan tongue
and whitewash our words

4 - Expiation

Tangled web of desires
start to follow the colours of the day.
By then it is too late.

5 - Picture perfect

Consider the clouds:
wafting over the mountains;
blackening the valley

6 - Exploration

a lone traveler
all snow - an evaluation;
clouds his company

7 - Contrasts

Studies in contrast:
the white rabbit with pink ears,
green grass, red flower.

8 - Enervation

dreamy morning scene
so unlike like my cityscape
while I rush to office

9 - Music in the park

swans in a pond
so much colour around
its a symphony

10 - Regret

steps to my heaven
scattered with spoiled steps
unforgiving past
