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
Appeared in MSN-Mainichi Daily News: Haiku
