Deluded traveler stops
by each mirage
thirsty camel sighs

For the Love of Haiku
Human’s style futile
while aliens dazzle with speed
and a focussed performance
This was written for the love of haiku.
Trembling Earth
The tired sky stared at the earth
having nothing to give
Bereft of energy
and spirit
The warmth of the earth
turned into a burn
The sun pierced the land
cutting it to dry pieces
Unable to bear the crushing weight
of so many beings
the earth shook
and erupted one day,
which the world called earthquake
The sky hid behind clouds
too powerless to help
the trembling earth
Watching Them
We watch them in grasses
Grazing to their full
and staring curiously
Little knowing the intentions
The next day – they are in our dining tables
in varying forms and sizes
We watch them in media
Call them ‘endangered species’
while wearing their skin
as a deterrent against cold
and an object of fancy
We watch them in the forest
Marvel at their ferocity
Hiding in a safe place
The next day –
the trophies of our ‘bravery’
hang in our walls
Just think for a moment
of the dying animal
Liken their blood with yours
Look into their eyes,
think of your loved ones
and we will never do that again
