haiku and more...By Pravat Kumar Padhy--India

haiku and more…

iceberg--
the ocean melts
its agony
____________

fallen leaves--
the beggar loses
his address
____________

hummingbird--
the song wakes up
with brightness
____________

sunset--
the elephants carry
forest on their back
____________

*(In closing, a breath
of faith…and hope)

God’s name--
the sky opens to
one and all

*your editor’s thoughts

  2. Dear Pravat,
    I echo David's comment and welcome!
    I like all of your haiku with a special emphasis on your "hummingbird" creation.
