A Haiku-lean Task

A Haiku-lean Task



Castle on the cliff – 1625,


Brick for brick replaced – 1825,


Castle true or crumbled anew?






Life - A lesson on lease,


Chinese whispers of wisdom,


Echoes in an empty room.






Love – what is it?


A transaction of souls – yours and mine,


against one another’s spine.






Dependence – what’s your price?


She’s not for sale –the cross on her sail,


Ponzi schemes everywhere.






Architecture of an attitude,


Earthly connection, minerals mine.


A statue of dignity.






Goldilocks – here’s your bed.


Buddha – here’s your middle path.


Frost – are you lost?






Don’t give up your Kavacha – Karna,


It is for your only sheild.


Don’t yield, don’t yield!






Soul – a sapling,


Of strength, of solace, of serenity,


Water with Time.






The freshwater flows swiftly,


it corrodes and carves -


The graph of grand canyon.






Time does not move,


We push it - ahead of us,


Where have the days gone by?
