Eight Haikus by PVM
21st March 2015
Written on Ugadi Day
=======================
It is raining leaves
Leaves everywhere -- only to
Create a rustle as I walk
==
Gusty winds at night
Rain of tiny unripe mangoes
Never to grow again
==
Rainy season arrives
Plantain tree stem hides
A tiny frog from cats
==
The summer heat is horrible
The old man left his home
Only to leave his body behind
==
Stagnant water stinks
Mosquitoes announce their arrival
by ringing and stinging
==
Early morning sunshine
welcomes me with a hug
asking the lazy guy in me to run
==
Hot coffee on Rosewood table
spills as a lizard escapes
pre-tasting my coffee?
==
LEDs emit cool white light
contrasting the mind within
boiling like some bathtub water
==
KIndly leave any Haiku you may be prompted to write, here in this blog as a comment. Thanks
