What a beautiful surprise in the morning by dear Kala Ramesh when she shared that my tanka published in haikuKATHA was up in Triveni Spotlight on 11th October by host Teji Sethi.
The commentary by Teji is a treat and shows her deep knowledge of poetry, music and aesthetics coupled with a love for Nature and its creations. 💕
My gratitude to dear Teji & Kala. Triveni is a great source of learning for me.

city drive— we carry our silence through the traffic
What a wonderful launch we had yesterday of Cafe Haiku’s 5th Anthology of haiku, haibun, tanka, renbun & gembun on relationships—Sharing my Solitude.
Poets from all over the world write about the people in their lives – family, people they meet and people they lost. Sometimes with sadness and lonliness, sometimes reliving memories and often with humour.
It was wonderful to hear Dr Brijesh Raj, Rohini Gupta, Geethanjali Rajan, Paresh Tiwari, Shalini Pattabiraman, Raamesh G R, K. Ramesh, Vidya Venkatramani, K Srilata, Deborah & Henryk read out their beautiful creations.
Honored to have a haibun “Bloodline” in the Anthology. Congratulations to all featured haijin.
