Haiku by R. Suresh babu
splinter sun…
the cuts and cracks
of war memories
(Haiku Dialogue, Haiku Foundation)
************************************************************************
scanty rainfall…
still we curse
the rain god
( Haiku Dialogue, Haiku Foundation)
***************************************************************************
bore well digging…
the dying crops
thirst for a drop
(Haiku Dialogue, Haiku Foundation)
******************************************************************************
desert sun . . .
the caravans sing
a monsoon song
(The monthly kukai, theme: optimism, HONORABLE MENTION)
*******************************************************************************
winter morning…
birds mourn
a broken branch
*******************************************************************************
roadside vendor
the night rain
in his diyas
************************************************************************
earth day–
the excavator unearths
a green banyan
(The Asahi Shimbhun)
************************************************************************
summer rain . . .
paddy sprouts
in the sparrow’s nest
*******************************************************************************
yatra . . .
grandpa leaves behind
his wooden sandals
******************************************************************************
a single tear drop from the sky
the farmer’s eyes rained the whole night
the earth again slept thirsty that night
*******************************************************************************
