A Haiku Poetry On Nature
Sparrow is chirping
dew drops opening eyes
welcome good morning
Food grain production
monsoon brings prosperity
green revolution
Monstrous tsunami
execration of nature
a deserted island
A silvery moon,
joining the evening stars,
lighting the heavens
A summer rainfall,
dropping softly to the ground,
nourishing the earth
Watchful mother bird,
standing guard over her babies,
keeping them from harm
Brightly burning sun,
spreading brilliant rays of light,
warming up the earth
Darkness returns home
nature comes to welcome dawn
fresh air tickles pine
Little sparrow chirps
cuckoo sings sweet melody
sun rays on duty
Dew-drops are dazzling
peacock dances with wind beats
zealous trees tinkle
(By Kishan Negi)
robins, cardinals
wings sing through a gentle breeze ~
spring’s rhythmic applause
plastic flute way back
when - then a violin came through
then a piano
space and time beyond
comprehension - as endless
as the soul o man
all of bonds l o o
s
e
n
impervious our friendships~
silver chains sparkle
As I gaze long, far
The Sun leans into the sea
Sets water on fire
A lone fisherman
Paddles through the angry waves
Few fish in the can
Has nought to take home
To his wife, hungry children
Hoping for food, some
The man sees not far
In the glistening waters
A floating buoy
On which a goldfish
Lay lifeless beckoning him
The tired man picks fish
Unknowing to all
Only to find a treasure
That’s kind of not small
Inside are gold coin
Life is changing, knows he will
Never fish again.

only one star shined
so bright that it lit up the
night until the day

in darkest of throes *
lies sparking awareness hence~
* our effervescence *
