Haiku by Anita Bacha
My Hiroshima
White doves fly in blue sky
Oleanders in bloom
Rime of winter days
Stranded banyan hibernates
Through curtain of light
Blue morning glory
Blossoming delicately
Outside my window
Exploding sunset
The forest is set ablaze
Flames of red and gold
On the wings of dawn
Pretty sunflowers unfold
Summer morn kudos
Summer day in Mauritius
Aroma of scents
I look around for the blooms
My mother’s garden
Cyclonic downpours
Sugarcane fields are flooded
Planters bend their arms
Surya Namaskar
Sleek mountain bluebells bending
In morning prayer
Scattered broken clouds
Flying like a bird above
The mind-blowing Alps
Mid-October breeze
Orange leaves of persimmon
Cling to the old tree
Inspired by Nature
Short bio
Anita Bacha was born in Mauritius and she presently lives in London, England.
Hence her writing reflects her appurtenance to these two countries.
By profession, she is a Barrister at Law; a retired Senior Magistrate, she spends her time reading, writing, and traveling.
A published writer of seven books of different genres, she started to write haiku after she read the book ‘On Love and Barley’ by the great Master of Haiku, Matsuo Basho.
Greatly inspired by the life and work of Basho, she wrote and published a collection of Haiku earlier in 2022.
She continues to write haiku that she publishes on social media.
