Best Everydayness Poems
between chopsticks
heartbeat
of a whale
fisherman
donating scales
with each hand shake
grandmother -
traversing timelines
in a rocking chair
flower seller -
bouquet
of smiles
coffee break -
persistent bee
demands a sip
one-legged pigeon
pecks at crumbs
of crumbs
morning glow
fingers caress
creases
runners' route -
squashed sachets
unwind in stretches
at the bakery
penniless woman swallows
fragrant memories
old age -
shaky hands
punctured feet
evening flight -
from highlands to lowlands
the sun sets twice
glistening
earth and leaves
dance in rain
(based on Vivek Malhotra's "First Haiku Attempt")

ample breasts -
the baby in me
wants to suckle
before Basho
defiant frog plops
into a pool
loud bus stories -
rattling windows
restore serenity
