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

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