Five Haiku Poems by Nalini Shetty

 




5 Haiku




oak swing
the arc of youth
touches the sky



office memo
a spider dangles
from boss's hat



lost in the book
a ladybug
bookmarks my page



evening news
cat's tail
sweeps the remote



in the silent pond
fish tickles
the moon's cheek









Nalini Shetty from Mumbai, India is a writer, author, and devoted mother, found her passion for haiku in 2017. Since then, she has shared her poignant verses with readers worldwide, with her work featured in publications such as Haiku Foundation, haikuNetra, haikuKatha (TriveniHaiku India), HaikUniverse, Col Moon Journal, and Failed Haiku.
