Ten Haiku: Ram Krishna Singh

Ram Krishna Singh

yellow  lemons

still hanging after the storm

sunny backyard

dusty leaves

break days of silence

spring’s first rain

making lemon tea

and warm buttery toast-

birds singing outside

inviting

sandal attar from the wrist-

summer evening

evening walk

near the woodlands path:

spiny friend

inhales sun

through the foggy morning

a leaping frog

a quick brush

with snake in the fence:

plucking flowers

fingers push

roots into loamed earth

touch-me-not

warblers fly back

seeing the soft-stepping cats

in the grassy yard

seeking shelter

a leaf falls into

the puddle
