HAIKU POETRY by M. A. Rathore


Part 1
Whisper on Christmas

(1)

Summer breeze-

her unlocked hair ripple

through droplets



(2)

tulip-

a baby smiles at mother

in her lap

 

(3)

drizzling dales-

a turtle walks across

the road



(4)

drizzling dales-

a lass gathers pollen from

the saffron fields



(5)

drizzling dales-
a roadside corn seller with
burning hearth below

(6)

drizzling dales-
a jam of swans walking
across the busy road


(7)

drizzling dales-
a girl without an umbrella
in the open street


(8)

Winter fog-
I've lost the remote control
somewhere in my quilt


(9)

Christmas morning-
dispersed million balloons
everywhere around



(10)

Christmas morning-
my daughter prepares a feast
on her birthday

(11)

Christmas morning-

the misty sun plays hide and seek

in the cradle below

 

 

(12)

Merry Christmas-

a cock proclaims a feast

this morning

 

 

(13)

Christmas morning-

my mom calls me for

an early bath

 

(14)

Christmas tree-

million stars twinkle

on each branch

 

 

(15)

Christmas evening-

even a monkey needs

a heavy branch

 

 

(16)

freezing point-

I try to press out some paste

from my toothpaste




(17)

early frost-

a beggar covers his body

with a newspaper


(18)

early frost-

the vigour of early riser

loses at dawn



(19)

December moon-

she requires no veil

to cover her face



(20)

Winter storm-

she keeps me inside the doors

burning the fireplace



(21)

Winter storm-

she hides me inside her heart

burning the fireplace



(22)

Winter nights-

She reminds me to get up

early morning



(23)

central heating-

she wears me as a sweater

in winter season
