Some more Haikus

 1.

scattered is how 

is what has happened 

to the dewdrops 


2.

cold days of winter 

a thought remains frozen 

waiting for the thaw


3.

cold nights 

frozen amber skies

myths re-told


4.


what does the bird seek

ocean, fish, mates?

some unspoken truth?

Haiku Marathon- 3

 1.

a transition flows 

through out heart

autumn, winter, spring 


2.

but then again

time is a notion

akin to the faceless wind


3.


soon we will forget 

the blizzards, the frost 

such flows time

Haiku Marathon 2

 1.

transition is what is 

and was and will be 

things end and resume


2.

imagination is 

a boat, weather- torn 

for- lorn and alone


3.

a tower emerges 

from the mist 

like a myth, a legend

Haiku Marathon 1

 I did a Haiku Marathon of sorts, and this is the outcome. Some of these may need work further but here’s for now -


1.

scattered beneath

the crescent blue moon 

a million stories 


2.

the slow patter 

of raindrops

a sonata of loneliness 


3.

driving in rain

on long blue nights 

quiet hum of time

1

Now this calm, now this tumult

how we’ve closed these circles - a lapse,

a gossamer of things gone, things to be 


When old age strikes, and we wince and writhe in pain, what would these loves mean then? Broken statuettes of yore. Faded artifacts from another time.


Guilt hangs from the gilded gates - 

years recounted, faces rehashed 

This, here is how looking back looks like

Customary new year scribble

 Another year has passed us by -

this modicum of life,

a fragment that will linger 

in our memories 

a blur

a dot

in the whirlwind ocean 

that is our lifetime.
