Haiku by Ram Krishna Singh

he sweeps yellow leaves

or gathers years in a heap

burns to merge with dust

looking for Taj in grains

through sand storm find history

trapped between toes

two wolves smell

the carcass in field

heat wave chills

ripe on the branches

mangoes fall one by one

end of the season

smell of kamini

in front of my house excites:

hummingbirds mate

a load of wood

on her frail back

autumn evening

on a cycle

he sells bouquets and roses

peddling dreams

in the wild

inner echoes—

dragonfly

naked in debris

a crying baby girl

he bends to pick up

measure loneliness

sip by sip

at dining table

–R. K. Singh

Here is a mail from Dr. R.K.Singh

Dear Hiruta san,

May I submit ten haiku for your consideration for use in the forthcoming World Haiku Series 2022 on the theme of Earth. I guess you want us to submit haiku on the element of Earth in its various patterns of energy — physical, practical, concrete– that affect human life; its core physicality of who we are, our animal instincts, sufferings, nurturing, rootedness, happiness etc.; and the balance of yin and yang aspects in our being. If I’m right, then I hope, my submission should meet your expectation.

I look forward to hearing from you.

With warm regards

Sincerely,

R.K.Singh
