a slice of youth

 

peeping through

the stained window

seeing her grandchildren play

she

pined

for a slice of youth

family secrets

in the attic

my grandfather’s diary

holding family secrets

the new normal

forget the past

be prepared for the future

embrace the new normal

changing love… haiku

changing times

is the definition of love

changing too?

rain dance

summer sun go away

let the clouds bring rain

waiting for the rain dance

memories of childhood…haiku

I survive by

weaving my way into the bylanes

of childhood memories

lockdown sanity

The gritty grasp of concrete

The roar of city life

The white noise all around

That drowned nature’s voice

Nature has halted the human race

Told them to stop and think

It has called out to them

Pushing them to the brink

I have started to like the present

I have started to breathe again

The blue skies, the white clouds

Are now keeping me sane

our lockdown

hold me close

let’s forget the world

revel in our lockdown

murder of crows

on the concrete roof

engrossed in conversation

a murder of crows

warm breath… cold heart

the breath is warm

but the heart is cold …still

the bodies unite
