HAIKU FOR JAPAN

-- Pravat Kumar Padhy (India)

earthquake--

misplaced syllables

shaken the haiku

*****

dilapidated--

shades of broken moon

on buried faces

*****

tsunami sea--

the full moon in

grief

*****

mother’s lap

the tender baby looks at

tearful moon

*****

sunami--

the silent Buddha

in tears

*****

new sun--

plants from the rubbles

gently warm up
