:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Reddened with pan
her lips attracted
the village macho.

Giving fruit and water
Spreading hands over our head
Tree mothers us.

Last year in the grave
her body was laid innocent
now covered by thorns violent.

From the Pune Haiku Meet, December 2006

dipping dancing and
gesting alone in Mulamutha-
happy cormorant.

light and shade, cobwebs
Mulamutha flows timidly;
dark Nala park.

trees bushes cobwebs
in dark canopied Nala park
guard the silence.

A damsel in blue camis
ambles in the green meadow
a tree witnesses.

River Mula welcomes
the morning sun, broken through
leaves and stalks.
