They fight seriously Why? Look here, ground-nuts and beans! Fighting for nothing Is like falling into grounds Full of herbivoric pests II As a leaf, I probed Beans claim superiority For being flower-borns As ground-nuts claim bosshood for Being root borns, how trivial! III You silly fighting beans, Don’t you know you depend on roots […]
TIMES
Dawn’s whispers It freshness and tears Its soothings caress Bodies smile and feel Which arena can compare?

III Afternoon’s strength Its drying and heat Its scares and energy Bodies love in care Which […]

Bakers! When your hands do the mixing And your heat cry for toasting Do you get the body building To feed them your soul’s shillings? No! II Carpenters! When you kill those trees And you pay no fees And you peel their skins And maim their bodies Do you serve as the nail for the […]
Rains run rivers’ rims Letting lives live like landlords Showering so still On okays, opens up on Worldly wars which it wins wild II Honeyed huts has hurts When their wills and windows’ weave Cannot contain or cover Then there is that tale of terror Taunting timers to tamper III Roses have regrets Their thorns […]
TREES IN RUSTLE (RHYMING HAIKU)

EVERYTHING IS A TRAVELLER (TANKA)

PICTURE OF NATURE (TANKA)
The sun’s claws of heat And the harmattan’s beak of Cold are different but Their similarity strikes They make lovely cute dawn cry II How two enemies Can step on a meek lady Is like the ladle Which stirs fear in my mind’s pot I’ll make no bones about it III But dawn loves its […]

Does nature have a head? Does nature have ears? Does nature have eyes It truly needs to be pitied […]
BALD TREE (HAIKU)
I The bald lonely tree Gets no sympathy from birds Even when it is in pain II Birds chirp in dancing Flying here and hopping there No weather bother III The tree sits under Be it hotness or coldness No deliverance IV Who sees its hot tears? Who knows its coldness and fears? Who can […]
A SUN DAY
It’s Sunday Let the sun run my day I need no proud cloud Which will call meddlesome thunder Which goes nowhere without its lightning wife To shake my world and make me a coward Though I fear the extreme heat of the sun I prefer that to drowning in cloud’s rain rage Let me get […]
WHEN THE LEAVES LEAVE
