Haiku by Neena Singh, India
smouldering heat
the ravens in the park
silent as night
sudden shower
I sip the white fragrance
of frangipani
the taste
of green mango pickle
scents my childhood
A Feast of the Senses – green mango pickle
Month: July 2023
A Feast of the Senses – ribbon rice
Haiku by Ganesh R. Artwork by Shloka Shankar
traffic jam
my favourite song
on the radio again
carrot halwa
the whiff of homesickness
grows stronger
A Feast of the Senses – cormorants return
Haiku by K Ramesh
homecoming…
first to welcome me
the neighbour’s rooster
back home…
every step to the terrace
holds a story
on the path home…
from a distance I see
the mango tree in bloom
evening walk….
I spot the lake to which
the cormorants return
fish curry…
the neighbour’s cat
waiting
A Feast of the Senses – soap bubbles
Tanka by Lakshmi Iyer, India
running to catch
the soap bubbles
at 56
the sunsets in droplets
no more mine
A Feast of the Senses – Van Gogh’s yellow
Haiku by Lori Kiefer, UK
first birdsong…
all the colours
of the rising sun
night café…
the all-pervading scent
of Van Gogh’s yellow
deep night
bluebells silent
in the rain
A Feast of the Senses – tadpole army
Haiku by Brendan Duffin, Ireland
night fog
heartbeat hoots of
a swan
vast silence
a tadpole army
swims the pool
spring wind against my eyeballs
A Feast of the Senses – gentle rain
Haiku by Jennifer Gurney, USA
the gentle rain
tapping on the metal roof
memories of you
A Feast of the Senses – a softer tap
Haiku by Mike Gallagher, Ireland.
woodpecker
in this lush copse
a softer tap
abattoir stench
the cattle shift their feet
in the transporter
candles
the stale smell of incense
at the funeral
A Feast of the Senses – scent of bluebells
Haiku by C.X. Turner, United Kingdom
the smell of rain
softly treading
the moss
lost in the mist
with this scent of bluebells
a robin’s song
