Awakening

 A letting go haiku

Seven days later,

I woke up to sky, sea and

a never seen sun

Two black bugs and sixteen red ants

Originally published in IBW on Feb 7, 2012

Frank went deep into the bush
Hiding from his father’s stare
Saving himself from Amanda’s eyes

Amanda is more a mother than sister
And he finds her more intimidating
Than the wild bugs in the bush

He eyed two black bugs crawling chameleon
Frank picked one by one balancing in his two wannabe fingers
Dropped them immediately into the empty jam bottle

Then, he looked for preys here and there, all around and over
Not finding anything interesting and little upset
He settled for the tiny red ants on the tree above him

Sixteen red ants, venomous and perfect
Then closing the bottle lid quickly
Frank lounged quietly as he shook the bottle intermittently

The two black bugs and the cavalry of sixteen red ants
Fought historic epic battle till they all tossed for life
And eventually died to the eight year old’s whim.

Virgin rain

Monday rain haiku

Dark grey sky smothered
The cotton blues, the rain bursts
Fondling virgin leaves

City nights

The night that was ~  23/04/2017

As deep darkness spread over city night

I gazed deep into the dying light,

It smoothly transcended into silhouettes

Forming deft pieces of animated cutouts,

Then melting into intriguing human forms

I stalked till they died to city norms.

Heaven Sent

Calmness haiku

Living quiet evenings
Sipping in the ice calmness
You are heaven sent

Daily salsa

Daily salsa

Danced onto the wheels
Doing wobbly salsa moves
Sparkled like a queen

Wrath

Saturday 25th haiku

The deadly shudders
Tears, despair, loss of hope
Rains pelt weeping face
