85
the sari she wore
protects her children
cold wafts over their body
86
Fresh morning air
Warm sun darts through cold_
Smoke from an incense
87
relationships…
In the journey of life_
who comes ; who goes
88
Are gods to blame ?
for these unfortunate _
or choices they made
89
awaiting the sun,
dark blotches of clouds-
shrill eagle fly through chill
90
pitch black canvas sky
smiling moon shines through _
white fluffy clouds
91
mystified thoughts
the broom is the man
rustling leaves protest
92
water laden fog
stops amazing speeds of light
clouding judgment
93
human swarms concrete,
by rumbling roaring traffic
lush green trees survive
94
sun fades; come darkness
eerie silence bides time
stray dogs keep watch
95
Asleep we dream
Awake we plan ; contemplate_
Rest after dreams
96
through fluid medium,
blind as a bat we exist.
motor spew fumes
97
be my moon
shine when I shine
else be quiet
98
static moon shines bright
clouds flow slow in front of it
blowing smoke skyward
99
school kids playing
kabaddi: ancient sport
muddy school ground
100
past krsna’s temple
road winds to gary’s abode
haunted house for drinks
101
the moon round n white
beautiful lustrous divine
oblivious me
102
listening to french song
similar to bengali
romantic language
103
distant and aloof
The moon; its brightness waning.
halo below shines
104
girl looking at me
talking to me so nicely
thinking of someone .
105
the sun creeps in slow
cuts through the chilly weather
clearing foggy mind
106
air, water, land
discharge fumes, filth into it
the end of earth nears
107
throw bait into sea
patiently wait; feel the pull
plastic pollution
108
clouds shine below sun
twin boats traverse silently
crescendo of waves
109
eroding trees
Rocks jutting into water
glee in the sea
110
On tv on stage
Kid Krishna licking white stuff
Does he understand
111
spied a frog in well.
threw stones; dint budge basho
why frog no jump out?
112
Arz kiya hai
Ped ke upar bandar
Aur niche insane
113
Suno oh ghalib
Mohabbat ki dastaan
Sab Kaazi ban baite
#ghalib #hindi #shayari #haiku
114
blue sky ; sickle moon
clouds shimmering; morning sun
eagles fly gracefully
115
yellow butterfly
flies carelessly through traffic
behind yellow one
116
Jine laga tha
Tere bina Abh
Marne laga hoon
117
had started living
without you; now
started dying
118
you love someone
someone else loves you, needs you
another has you.
119
behold the dark clouds
ominous in nature
forecasting gloom
120
many pass daily by..
some cherished memories of _
long forgotten stones
121
hungry mosquito,
tries to feed off my hand.
shock waves
122
magnificent clouds
higher than mount Everest
filled with water
123
you say grow more trees
then you chop the branches
mute spectators.
124
poster on the wall,
keep Mangalore clean and green.
leaves strewn on the bridge
125
stubborn attitude
holed up in a tree ; seeking
answers to life
126
limping and trodding
and slowly ebbing away;
her careless whispers
127
happiness, not mine
success, snatched away
drive to work ; new day
128
leaving the planet
to higher realms.
her tormented soul
129
child asks grandmother
soothing tender healing
from soft blown words
130
soul needs to focus
like a child’s; unwavering.
castles in the air
131
everyone
floating in their medium
a poet sees all
132
aye ghalib what say
in times of need they come
rub salt on wounds
133
land and rituals
causing issues relating
gods and humans
134
astrologer says
lost time don’t come back _
at railway station
135
Radioactive
Elements have half life
No friends, no enemies
136
My time has come
Its yours to decide now
Prosper or perish
137
reverberating
off the walls of the temple
prayers, hymns and clangs
138
exhale and behold
beauty of a soap sphere
memories forever
139
hunt for a bride
seeking and searching, far and wide
one night stand allures
140
the faster you grow_
missing out finer things
time flies to old age
141
twilight zone exists
by the banyan tree road
flickering street lights
142
spies a beautiful face
turns to get friendly
emptiness beyond
143
footsteps on concrete
bewildered green lizard flees
lush green lawns
144
pleasant smile; chirpy hi
recall past memories
few words exchange
145
waves fold on another
unknown forces at work
sound splashes all around
146
naughty smile; chirpy hi
absent minded girl
few words exchange
147
Small girl in train
Plays with nippled bottle
In between sips
148
Fat lady cravings
Peels cashew, throws on floor
Eats and sleeps
149
Man with bag
Oblivious of ant crawl
Dozes ; off to work
150
Hanging on
Violent jerks of train
Daily routine
151
Verumoru satyam
Ambalapurayil
Katthunna vilakk
translation :
simple truth
inside the temple
a burning lamp
malayalam haiku from kerala

Kadala curry
choodu dosa kaathirikkunnu
Uppu kuravanu
translation :
chickpea curry
hot dosas await
salt is less
malayalam haiku from kerala
alternative :
maple syrup
hot pancakes await
less sweetness
153
Train delayed
Noise at railway station
No haiku in mind
154
Scorpio middle of road
Girls in really short skirts
Wet roads ahead
155
used to hate songs
of norah jones, now awesome
Lana del ray wow
156
soap and water,
muddles the window panes..
clears with plain water
157
fleeting memory,
those bygone days of love..
in the evening sun
158
when all is lost
and when no hope is in sight..
tv beckons thee
