Haiku

A dazzling woman
Kills my beautiful poems
Every morning.

Shards of green glass
On top of forbidden walls
Sparkle in moonlight.

Rapacity
To plunder a soul’s gold
To buy glass beads.

Haiku by A.Thiagarajan
-----------------------------------

autumn evening--
I lightly touch
my son's first scribbles

(Published in June 2006- Herons Nest)
-----------------------------------


vacation over
a cockroach rushes out
from shoes

first rain
statue washes itself
of droppings

dawn rain
hilltop temple rests
in the puddle below

highway
car in front takes away
afternoon sun

sunrise
lotus leaf holds
a mercury drop


brief rain
on the balcony rim
row of pearls


after cooking at 5star
chef returns home
for mom’s dinner


so cold
the rat doesn’t come out
for the bait


dark sky
the only one out
is the floating leaf


sudden darkness
dogs bark on the road
dotting my way


end of term
lizard all alone
on the writing board


long day
shadows crawl
at snail’s pace


(Published in Haiku Harvest   Vol. 6, No. 1 - Spring & Summer 2006)
-----------------------------------

queue for darshan--
she mumbles her prayers
at a roadside puddle


heavy rain
his palm catches a drop
from the leak


army recall
a cockroach escapes
from the uniform


security frisk
the officer passes one's perfume
to the next

(Appeared in Cloudspeak)
-----------------------------------

evening train . . .
an empty lunchbox
on the window seat

(Appeared in White Lotus)
-----------------------------------

still pond
lotus leaf occupies
sixteenth floor

sale --
mannequin gets
a fresh coat
