City HaikusThis garden city
Concrete skyscrapers loom;
Greenery punctuate
Tree-lined avenues
Bourgainvillea clusters;
Traffic jam companions
Waltzing slowly
Overhead bridge;
Ant-people below
Old neighbourhood
Heartland community;
Ageing populace
Feeble old lady
Speeds on wheels;
Electric commotion
Playground
For small kids and big;
Noisy...

Heavy HeartHeavy heart hears,
Ink invokes ire;
Dance deeply dear,
Expose empire.
Hurl hurry's horse,
Expose empty;
Ask apt applause,
Voice vanity;
Yield yonder yes.
Hide hopeless husk,
End each express;
Air aligns ask,
Rust reaps refill;
Thrust troubles...

When I was young and wild
With surging passion free;
Now I surrender the old ways,
Retreat to something mild
Stride with sure breath...

Ode To a WomanSee that familiar form:
Happy joy strikes a norm,
Warm refuge from life's storms.
Sense a fond smile now squeeze:
Heart flutters in the breeze,
Kind comfort in harsh sneeze.

With open and adorned soul
Askance behind silvered eyes and sighs,
Revealing her concealed seraphic smiles
In an unending sequence.

Fragrant Touch(Dedication: For Regina Riddle)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tree caterpillar crawling
Strong windy debris;
Blown over the bough
~~~~~~~~~
Violet blossoms
Vine decorations dancing;
Sun and breeze move
~~~~~~~~~
Joy wears a face:
Your smiles highlight;
Dazzle of morning
~~~~~~~~~
Hasty scribblings

WordsOld guava tree
Still bearing fruits;
Sixty years old now
~~~~~~~~~
Old aunt's house
Porch with fruit trees;
Custard apple delights
~~~~~~~~~
Grandmother calls
Two pungent durians;
Holiday treat

Waiting time here
School bus arrives;
Goodbye waves

Amuse Pursuits 3One by one
They come and go;
Bus-stop blues
On the way out,
Smile as you go;
Embrace forgetfulness
Surge of passion
No need to feel;
Go with the flow
Bedtime stories
We swop tales;
Laugh...

Unnoticed(Dedication: For Dr Ram Mehta.)
Morning light
Spreads divine psalm --
Touch of zest
By this stone bench
Sleeping cat purrs --
Feline dreamscapes
That old man sits alone
Strange neighbour --
Thoughtful wanderings
Sadness...
