    All Things Bright and Beautiful Neena Singh, Chandigarh, India

    time-travel
    walking with my father
    under a starry sky
    his poetic voice
    resounds in my ears

    On a walk to Kirke Park, Seattle, with my 5-year-old grandson, we share and revel in the natural and living wonders that we encounter: leaves turning; the smile and greeting of a stranger; the watchful eyes of a tabby cat in the alley; the ah so sweet red raspberries, ripe to pluck; the baby snail in the garden; a fragrant lavender bush with hordes of bumblebees buzzing in and out; the luminous white daisies with yellow hearts.

    He points his little hand, chatting excitedly at everything he sees; and I pause to look at these wonders through his eyes.

    despite entropy…
    the quantum soup
    bubbles afresh
    as he holds my hand
    to cross the road

  • Triveni Spotlight

    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.

    early dawn
    rose light awakens
    earthlings
    to the wondrous gift
    of new possibilities

    old family album—
    a black and white photo
    falls out …
    was it as easy to leave
    your last-born child
