Haiku by R.K. Singh
a drop embedded
in the half-opened bud—
winter morning
winter rain
bends the roses low—
lumber pain
cleaning the remains
of burnt out earthen lamps—
dusky temple yard
a night wolf
chomps the leftovers—
teeth in moon
after the discourse
beer and biryani in lunch—
happy drinksgiving
her leaning head
from night to deathless light—
chemotherapy
a touch of fire
in inner privacies:
the will to live
year’s first snowfall
prediction of early spring—
sakura buds
