Haiku II


"Graceful shines the sun,

Spreading its rays all around-

New saplings come out."


~~~***~~~


Haiku is one of the most important form of traditional Japanese poetry, where the poems are simple, small and not rhymed. It is nothing but a depiction of nature in its innumerable aspects.


Few simple rules for writing in this form of poetry are:

1. Three lines of verse consisting of five, seven, and five syllables.

2. Each haiku must contain a seasonal word, may not strictly be a typical one. For example: snow denotes winter.

P.S :  This is my second attempt at Haiku.

  15. I like the name-->"Haiku".
    And needless to say,Preetu..it was good.
    Isn't it an experience in itself to see a sapling that your planted growing stronger day by day..till it becomes a tree.AH!

    Neat!

  16. About the pic:-

    It is as if amid the sprawling ,enormous canvas of pleasant green, the radiant shafts of the sun's rays in merry abundance glorifies a life- a Life being nurtured
    by the Creator. The Creator holds and garnishes the blessed Life in the radiance galore.
    The whole pic depicts blessedness-Otherworldly- almost bordering on Godliness.
    -----------------------------------

    About the poem:-

    It just compliments the pic (and vice-versa) creating a Majestic aura.
    The poem utters the beauty of the pic in a picturesque manner.
    Heaven is no far , but just somewhere near, very near- The marriage of the pic and the poesia whispers so.
