Haiku--By Archana Kapoor Nagpal--India

spring hymn --
a nesting chickadee
warbles
_______________

monsoon clouds
over the coconut trees --
punting on backwaters
_______________

moonless night --
lanterns floating
in a lily pond
_______________

chaff blowing
over barley fields --
cirrus clouds
_______________

dappled sunlight --
melted snow on her
grave
_______________

    Hello Archana,
    You have quite a talent for haiku and each of these paints a delightful image. My favorite is the lilies floating on the pond, but each one is a gem uniquely crafted by a skilled writer. Thank you for brightening my day with these beautiful haiku. Best wishes, Carolyn

      Thank you, so much, Archana! Yes, your name is very beautiful and I want to thank you for stopping by, too. I am so fortunate to have met you here on Whispers. Perhaps, fortunate is the incorrect term - should be blessed! Karen features the most incredibly talented poets and it is always so amazing to find such unique expressions and yet, that we are all so much alike! I do look forward reading more of you here on Whispers. Yes, you have inspired my Haiku button! Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net

    Thank you Archana for such beautiful Haiku. Your wonderful talent is very evident and I enjoyed the read. They are so full of imagery and make me want to try my "infant hand" at this form of poetry. Amazing how so few words can paint such vast pictures. Thank you for sharing your talent here with us on Whispers.
