green light
every one crosses
also a cat
*****
cherry blossoms—
the scent bridging
the long river
*****
thick
clouds--
a gap takes me
to the ocean
*****
tiny pebbles
the softness
of her talk
*****
migratory birds
across the border--
same blue sky
*****
flowing
river--
the bereaved girl holds
a palm-full of water

A Short Paragraph on Haiku:
“The essence of poetry nestles in the fragrance of flowers, the simple flow of the river, the gentle spread of leaves, and the calmness of the ocean. Arts and Science dwell together. The beauty of a flower is a divine art, the colour is the physics, the aroma is its chemistry.” I aspire for poetry to usher in a pristine social renaissance and celebrate the present with one and all. The doctrine of ‘haikuism’ will steer building a planet of nature’s paradise, an abode of peace and brotherhood. I am a tiny bird singing songs for the trees in my nest.”
