Haiku--By Pravat Kumar Padhy--India

morning solitude--
the buds burst into
colours
_______________

first death anniversary
a lone leaf on the withered
branch
_______________

sign language--
the memories float
with clouds
_______________

foggy morning--
your waving hand
speaks to me
_______________
