Ten Haiku Poems by Kavita Ezekiel Mendonca
soothing susurrus
yellow butterfly
a touch of turmeric in the curry
childhood creation
paper boat
trying to reach the ocean
quietude
my poet father’s recipe
for the perfect poem
missing home
my rotis
the map of India
mangoes
scooping the soft sides
the stone left for mother
green
the grass on this side
grandma's favorite color
late evening robin
the early bird
got the worm
looking back
pillar of salt
biblically speaking
looking ahead
the waters part
light enters the space
the poem
is marinating
give it time
