Haiku, Senryu,Tanka Poems by Daipayan Nair

 

Haiku/Senryu Poems

 

the stray lock of hair 

she hides behind her ear . . .

first kiss

 

 

door bell—

an incomplete arc 

by her eyeliner

 

 

my borrowed comb 

between her lips . . .

doing the bun 

 

 

fish market...

a man twitches 

his nose 

 

 

final bargain—

the jingle 

in his pockets 

 

 

Tanka Poems

 

murmuration

of a starling flock—

the sky

as seen from the roof 

along with you

 

 

floating

on a banana raft

the lullaby 

she breastfeeds her baby 

in the deluge
