Life Haikus

Sometimes leafless tree
looks attractive and scenic
when birds sit on it

The flowerless plant
enthrals everyone when
butterfly flies round 

Waterless river
is even more beautiful
when cute kids play there

Tasteless food items 
sound utterly delicious
when mother feeds us

Impoverished life
bestows happiness on us
when we boast small things
