Sneha Rv Poet Haiku

My Family

my family tree -
nurtured, supportive Banyan
roots stay firm beneath

Strong branches stretch out,
colouring a billion leaves -
                and those billion lives.


United we stand,
not by blood…   but loyalty.
Vasudev Kutumb.


'Vasudev Kutumb', in Sanskrit, means 'The world is our family'.

Sanket Jain February 11, 2018 at 1:19 AM Nice one. Your penned piece is nearer to my heart. It was a sheer joy to review your poem. Regards. Beauty of a poem means use of rhetorical devices. You too tried your hand in it. Good. Yes, I too had written a poem on my family. It is a bit different. Review Pari Style Poem to encourage me. Please subscribe 2 my YouTube Channel.
