far away--

the echoes bridge

our closeness

summer vacation

the playground attains

full attendance

 *

ljetni praznici

igralište postiglo

punu posjećenost

***

dense forest–

there is still light

between shadows

*

gusta šuma–

još uvijek svjetlost

između sjena

A Story

Under the old bridge

the boulders narrate

the abandoned journey.

Talking Time

Morning breeze

all the flowers start

talking to each other.

“The poet brings light to darkness” created by Smita Padhy, Pravat’s daughter, on a visit to the USA.

Pravat Kumar Padhy

the poet scripts
her well-lit voyage
ripples of love
the darkness paints
gently on the silken edges

Pravat Kumar Padhy‘s tanka highlights the power of a poem to impress itself on our minds, the page and the world. Pravat is a poet-laureate in Bhubaneswar, India. His short form of Japanese poems have appeared in many international journals.

long meadow--

my shadow turns

green

The Dream

The kids

Gather tiny pebbles.

In the evening they return

With streams of dream.

******

Saddened

Silently the tree

Sheds drops of rain.

She wasps her eyes

Over the melting edge of grief.
