Haiku--By Arvinder Kaur--India

smoke ring...
the proposal
that never was
_______________

my last coin...
the silent ripples
in the wishing well
_______________

new mathematics-
still trying to understand
my x
_______________

painting class-
my grandson brings home
the ocean on a pebble
_______________

    Wow, what a gorgeous collection of Haiku! I especially loved the second one, it was deep and inspirational. You have delighted me with your grandiose skill at these Japanese forms. Great work,

    "smoke ring" and "my last coin," superb. Each of them is an overflow of emotion, sad, wistful, unavoidably true.......
