Drifting Sands Haibun

Honored to be in the beautiful Drifting Sands Haibun Journal Issue 29, September 2024, with my #haibun, “fleeting world” among the gallery of poems by talented poets.

fleeting world
Neena Singh
Chandigarh, India

The three-legged stray dog, I call Soldier, waits patiently outside the gate this winter morning. I grab a handful of biscuits from the almost-full jar I keep in the garden shed and come out to feed him. Since the passing of our beloved labrador Rumi, all her treats have been for the strays of the neighborhood.

I wonder why I fed my pet merely three biscuits, one-by-one, as a reward for fetching her far-flung ball.

migrating geese…
the clutter we keep
for a distant tomorrow
