Haiku--By Ramesh Anand--India

distant hill
a river carrying
the spring
_______________

calm mist
          the cow bells
marching
_______________

peak hour . . .
a flock of sparrows pass
the evening moon
_______________

autumn sky
patches of twilight
in the falling leaf
_______________

lake tide
a duckling returns
to the moonlight
_______________

    Ramesh, I could tell how talented you are by reading your first haiku. I feel like I am in the presence of Greatness! Many attempt at writing haiku, but few truly succeed in understanding that Aha moment. Each of these haiku contain that precious moment!
    I shall have to seek out your book. Blessings, Connie
