Karam Misra Poet Haiku

Mayflies

ephemeral   cloud  
zillion  life  cycles  daily  
brahma sleeps  awhile 

.......

Notes: 
In Hindu Cosmology Brahma goes to sleep for a period of 4.32 
billion years, which is a period of time equal one day (of Brahma) 

The Life of the Mayfly (Ephemeroptera) is very short (ephemeral) , typically one day when it has to find food, mate, lay eggs and die.

Paul Callus May 27, 2016 at 3:12 PM Thanks for a lovely write and the info which you provided, Karam; makes it all easier to comprehend. There is always something new to learn! ~ Regards // paul Karam Misra May 27, 2016 at 8:48 PM Thank you, Paul. I have begun to realize that it is sometimes necessary to put up explanatory notes due to the beautiful cross-cultural milieu of poets here on PS. (And it is a pain to refer to the www when in the midst of a reading).~karam~
