Finally mates... I'm here with the first set of Haikus that I have written... Went through the various Haiku rules posted by Pratibha and tried my hands on the same, after paying too much attention to the rules ... It took time, as I am still learning counting the syllables and putting in 5-7-5 format ...
I have five different Haikus here. The first Five I have written ... I want you mates to go through all these separately and let me know about the same ... I'm still confused in a few ways, and seeking Pratibha's help whenever possible ... Your words in here will really help as this is a top learning assignment for me as of now:

A winter morning
With lots of dew drops on grass
Is all I see now
A winter morning
With lots of dew drops on grass
Is all I see now
***^**^***
Living loveless life
Like a bunch of frost topped grapes
Brisk, but motionless
***^**^***
Dark cloud brings the rain
I walk to you, breaking rules
But it rains again
***^**^***
The first drop of dew
On a winter morning here
Smells like perfect love
***^**^***
He took his brushes
And painted the blank canvas
To Monalisa

ReplyDeleteRash and Tan can share first position, but once you're in office things come out differently :S no?

@ Pratibha
ReplyDeleteYou know it all ... I am happy to be able to write something that you like ... and I'm overwhelmed to see that it can be something YOU can be proud of! Great ...
Frost Topped Grapes - is something I learnt (remembered) from the movie - A Walk In The Clouds ... another mushy affair ... hehehe ...
The lines you chose is something I have seen happening to me ... it happened 12 years ago and it happens every day now ... But, I keep walking, even if it would rain!!
@ Kings

@ Gueshan and Asbah

@ Leo/Vinay
I'm sorry if I could not make it sound different ... I put color and a line in between too ... I will do better next time, for sure .... ;)
@ Rashi
Thanks for the desire to share it with me ... thats a big thing in itself ...
Anyways, a writer would write withought the thought of being at the top, for there s/he would be too alone...
Write more and share more ...
