Bunch of Haiku
written by: Gopal Lahiri
@gopallahiri
the blue ants
touching
the friendly roots
super moon
eating stars
clear knockout
twilight
colours spillage
clouds in flame
my morning tea
turns green
with age
seabirds
take with them
the mountain shadows
the green turf
unfurrowed by
human footsteps
