Grateful to dear Eric Lohman, Editor, Fresh Out: An Arts & Poetry Collective for the publication of my 2nd #shahai in his journal on 28th May. This royal bird was caught by me on my evening walk—perched on the wall of a hostel.
A shahai, combines a #haiku/tanka and an image. The image usually does not directly correspond to the haiku/tanka, but connects to it subtly. #haiga, #shahai, #birds, #peacock, #rewilding, #poetry, #poetrycommunity
Haiku Blossoms – my column on rhyvers.com, for the appreciation of Japanese short forms of poetry is online. This 16th episode shares “The Magic of Haiga”, with the kind permission of Jim Kacian & Dr Pravat Kumar Padhy. Grateful to them.
