Ten Haiku Poems by Hifsa Ashraf

 






Ten Haiku Poems


late evening stroll 

an ebb tide rolls back 

the moonlight

 

 

windswept beach 

the seaweed tangled 

in a driftwood

 

 

harvest wind—  

the intermittent chirp  

of a barn cricket

 

 

melting snow…

small talks resumed  

over the shared fence


 

mid-summer heat

fallen leaves settle 

in the Buddha's lap


 

late summer heat— 

circling around a fallen tree 

the muted honeybees 


sunlit autumn leaf

finding my way 

back home


 

dense fog—   

the family garden’s oak 

without a bough

 

 

early summer twilight 

in the gargoyle’s mouth

nestling sparrows


solar eclipse—   

the patriarchal speech 

of a village chieftain
