Five Haiku and Five Micro Poems by Snigdha Agrawal

 

Haikus

 

Carpet of blossoms

pink duvet for homeless man

Nature's funeral

 

Death took a step back

Autumn had not yet arrived

Where is the hurry

 

Cup of nostalgia

overturned by accident

Tears fill dimpled cheeks

 

Rice and lentils mixed

colour of sunflower fields

palate yearns for this

 

glistening black cliffs

rising from sandy beaches

melted ice cream cone

 

Micro Poetry

 

Creek behind cottage

Whisky decanter refilled

Concert music playing 

No entry fee

 

Down in the valley

Witnessed a strange scene

Bees writing music notes

sitting on purple peonies

 

Restless in life

Death brought peace

To please the demi-gods

sold mind, body, soul

 

May you never lose sight

of the hand that rests

upon your head

protective

 

Tucked in your buttonhole

closest I could get

till visit to the dry cleaners
