Illustration Friday..."Tall"


Stretch out tall,
To reach every temple bell,
 And,
Feel the resounding sense of calm.

Illustration Friday...." Teacher"


Amongst the palms and the lush green fields,
The village teacher frowns..."Do you know the table of 6 ?"

Never mind if I do not know my tables well,
But ask me about the seasons, the birds and the trees,

And I will tell you amazing things,
That I learned in this beautiful place,

Outdoors, in the lap of nature!

Illustration Friday ...."Freeze"

 

Winter lakes that freeze
A shikara still goes by
Beautiful Kashmir

....haiku

An attempt at creating a haiku- A short English verse of 3 lines with a 5-7-5 syllable structure. Haikus have a more complex structure in Japanese poetry from which it originates. 
Sometimes less can mean more and fewer words can describe better the scene before us. That is why I love the simple haiku. You can interpret it in so many ways.
