Haiku Comments Poem by Madathil Rajendran Nair

(These are some of my comments on the haikus of other poets at PH slightly altered where needed in order to let them stand alone.)


Cloud:

The cloud is in haste
It has to rain on the plains
Hot thirsty terrains


Peepholes:

Questions start with why
When, what and how – they all are
Peepholes that describe


In Orbit:

I remain unsent
Due to your gravity’s pull
Planet in orbit


Reality Of Life:

I don’t want to leave
But leave I must that is life
Sunshine, there is cloud


Carbon:

We are made of dust
Carbon therefore suits us best
Silicon can hurt


Pain:

Forgetful we are
Court pain again and again
‘Coz of ignorance



Tequila:

With salt on glass brim
Tequila is simply great
Hell with the liver



Sensitive Throats:

Even with hot drinks
Ice is pretty dangerous
Some sensitive throats



Water:

Two gases combine
A magic liquid is born
Blossoms of life bloom



Bread:

The bread is pretty
Send me a loaf fast pretty
Taste-buds are greedy



Ladybug (not a haiku) :

But why are they called bugs
When enchant is all they do
Unlike bugs and the lady of the house
Who bug us without a cease?



Poet (not a haiku) :

Tell me of what ethereal wine you are drunk
That so much poesy brims in your head
Like glowing glow-worms without a cease
Casting imagery day and night?
