Haiku--By Raamesh Gowri Raghavan--India

blackout...
a million stars
switch on
_______________

swinging in the rain
myriad droplets
spray from my hair
_______________

summer hols
-- the jamun tree
ripe with boys
_______________

yellow leaves
grandma sweeps up
yesterday
_______________

headless statue –
long before me
and long after
_______________

Raamesh Gowri Raghavan moonlights as an award-winning copywriter by day and daylights as an award-wanting poet by night. He thinks he is funny, but his friends vehemently disagree.
