Haiku: One patch of a rice field

-


Not everything goes right in the world. When nonseasonal rains arrive out of nowhere, they bring destruction in their wake. This Haiku is nowhere close to the colossal loss farmers experience.   


The paddy farmer
Under the old banyan tree
Weary village weeps


I am eternally grateful to Chèvrefeuille for the daily Haiku prompts at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai.

    That's a strong haiku. How sad the inspiration you have used.

      Thank you so much Kristijaan. Yes it's truly very sad. Not in Basho's spirit, as the haiku you shared and the one you wrote.

New Wings to Hope

I just finished reading a book I had meant to read for ages-  'Wings of Fire'. The autobiography of Dr.   A.P.J. Abdul Kalam with Arun Tiwari. It was truly motivational. After reading this book I jotted down this small poem that I'd like to share with you. I've written this poem to depict what this book meant to me and gave me- it gave hope new wings so I've titled it  New Wings to Hope. The poem is mine. The image has been sourced from  here . A detailed book review is available on  my new blog dedicated to books and more titled 'The Book Worm's Life' .

I had one of my ex-project managers complete a decade of service at work so wrote the below poem to congratulate him on this momentous occasion. Heartiest congratulations! A decade's time for a big celebration! Ten illustrious years, For your glorious career we all cheer! A decade of service, Your wealth of experience- priceless. Countless challenges triumphed, Your boundless energy has everyone pumped. Your inclusive leadership style, Makes everyone feel worthwhile. Empowering us to excel, And chart paths novel. An action oriented leader, Who is more than a manager. A mentor and motivator, Whom to emulate we aspire. Working with you has been truly inspiring and awesome, Best wishes for many more magnificent years to come!
