A Relic

I have written an Acrostic poem using the word Happy Hallowed trail,Abounds with sceptred stones,Piedmont archingpiered to reach imposing gates toyesteryears now no more

Cobbled Clutter(a senryu)

weary soul trudges clanging on cobbled clutter of life's edifice

A Requiem

Unsung melodies of tales lost hauntingly echo of love no more, Trails of laughter buried deep in stone monoliths, Wisps of emotions scattered in gusts of storm. Fiery ardorous passion stamped in wrath. Truth in bonds ensheathed in deceit. Peace and calm just a lull before the storm, An idyllic oasis, now just a mirage.…

As I step inside the stony monolith atop the green hill, I am entranced. The dark grey clouds above seemed to echo its sombre appearance. Each stone has a story to tell. They are worn out for they have stood the brunt of time. Some have been ravaged by mother Nature. And some by the…

The cycle of life( a Haibun) As the pristine icy snow melted with the advent of spring, it gave birth to a vivacious and bubbly froth.The cerulean drops danced along the valleys,cascaded down mighty falls and waltzing in symphony with pebbled music. The pure manna rejuvenated the arid plains and infused life into the dried…

Lockdown Day 21

A Haibun I stand in a stony stupefied slumber on a lush verdant expanse of life. My feelings and emotions have crystallised and amalgamated into two massive frigid boulders that are made more callous and cold by the winter snow. They stand like unrelenting sentinels at my soul's door blocking out all memories. I see…

A Haibun I could see the ruins standing resplendent in their stony ardour through the small gap in its strong walls where the stone had fallen prey to the vagaries of time. Nestled far deep in an expanse of wild foliage,the remnants of three towers protruded majestically high up in the sky. They were the…

Alone I stood, Stone hearted, Weathered by vagaries of time. Around me an enticing diaspora, Leaving me untouched. The canopy above, Suffused with warm blues, Sheathed me with a clouded grey. The lucid aquamarine surf, Enthralled with Nature's hues, Gambolled in a merry mirth, Rising to crash in a symphony. The silvery surf on a…

A Beacon ( A Haibun) The stony steps lined by a verdant gossamer of thin moss led to the teak panelled door of the house. Embedded in the pristine granite frame,it stood guard,a sentinel to love and life inside. The trellis lush with green foliage embellished its facade. Radiating a vernal bloom that was incited…
