Delighted to be in The #HaikuFoundation’s #HaikuDialogue today on the overarching theme of #Surrealism and the painting “Landscape”. It was a challenge to pen such a haiku!
Grateful to Lafcadio, Guest Editor, kj & Lori for the selection.
Happy to share my 2 #haiku/#senryu and a #tanka published in #VSANA—Viewing Stone Association of North America today. These were composed on “An Abstract Painting by Picasso?” stone display for September 2024. This is a Namhangang River Korean stone.
It is amazing to see how these stones inspire our imagination and trigger such diverse poems.
Grateful to dear Tom Elias, Editor, VSANA and Congratulations to all fellow poets featured. www.vsana.org vsana.viewing_stone

Happy to have a #haiku featured in the lovely journal. Grateful to Tony Pupello, Editor for the acceptance & publication. This poem was inspired by my first sight of Mount Fuji in Kyoto, Japan.

Grateful to dear Bryan Rickert, valued friend & brilliant Editor, for the acceptance & publication of two of my senryu. I am sorry to see him relinquishing editorship and will miss him. Grateful to him for his contribution to failed haiku and guidance to poets. Best wishes for the future dear Bryan.

Haiku by Neena Singh ( India)
solitary walk a heron and I share a nod
鷺と我孤高の歩み会釈する
sun on its wings a blue damselfly scatters light
太陽を翼に乗せる糸蜻蛉青色の身が光を散らす
winter rain… the red cedar shades a soldier’s grave 冬の雨レッドシダーの陰に降る兵士の墓に寒々と降る
ripening figs– fruit bats circle the darkening sky
-Presence #79
蝙蝠を魅する無花果熟れ始む
hospice visit… beside her empty bed the clock ticks
ホスピスの訪問受ける空ベッド
half-filled birdbath on the water’s edge a tiny snail
水盤に半分の水蝸牛
the silent love that left too soon… faded chrysanthemum
菊褪せて無言の愛を残しけり
the lake mirrors two painted storks: spring dawn

湖が鸛二羽映し出す春の夜明けの湖面に映る
autumn dusk a wood snipe rises from the marsh
