Haiku--By Kala Ramesh--India

I walk farther
into the womb of time:
Mohenjo-daro

Previously published--A Hundred Gourds, 3:2, March 2014

sunbirds peck
the tumbling river notes . . .
evening raga

Previously published--A Hundred Gourds, 2:3, June 2013

burning ghat . . .
  from the depths of grief
my friend's off-key tune

Previously published--Modern Haiku, 45:1, Winter 2014

falling leaves . . .
if only sorrows could be
contained in a palm

Previously published--Lakeview International Journal of Literature and Arts, Summer 2013

  3. I love the combination of all! They are deep and like really nice poetry, the beauty is more revealed when less is said. Now, you make me want to ensure that I take more time to learn Haiku. Thanks for sharing.

  4. the last one works very well. my only regret with Haiku is that they dont have a title. referring to your brilliant work as 'the last one' is a shame. love the work! Ralph
