Haiku by Geethanjali Rajan
light drizzle . . .
no change
in the snail’s track
(Stardust haiku, Issue 67)
summer dawn
many songs
from the Asian Koel
(Icebox)
shola forest
the kohl-rimmed eyes
of a spotted deer
(Blo͞o Outlier Journal Issue 3)
autumn funeral –
garden ants bear away
a rhino beetle
(Blo͞o Outlier Journal Issue 3)
shimmering
blue-green green-blue
Buddha Mayoori
(Blo͞o Outlier Journal Issue 3)
organic garden
weaver-ants nest
in mango-leaf boxes
(Blo͞o Outlier Journal Issue 3)
orange dusk
the gentle swish
of coconut fronds
(Icebox)
end of summer –
the sound of the waves
in my conch
(Icebox)
fading daylight
red leaves swirl
into a sigh
(Stardust Haiku, Issue 69)
chanting for peace
in all the languages I know
summer evening glow
(Kyoto haiku project on peace)
Photographs
