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.

The #haikufoundation’s #haikudialogue with the theme “Simply a Daily Activity” published today.
Grateful to Craig Kittner, Guest Editor, kj & Lori for selecting my #haiku.
Congratulations to all featured poets. Craig writes, “It is through the nature of our attention that we find connection with a moment. The nature of the moment hardly matters. The moment is haiku if you lose yourself in it.
Sometimes surprising things arise from just doing. Sometimes not surprising, but simply true.”
