Thundering Skies
Tall Swaying Coconut Palms
Broken Lonely Heart
PS: This is my first attempt at Haiku, a style I have consciously kept myself away from as I felt that I could never do justice to it. If there are any mistakes, please do point out, I’d love to learn but please be a little kind 😛
This is in response to the WriteTribe Prompt also linking this to the UBC Day 12.

Thank you Sulekha 🙂

55 comments and you doubt? It IS an excellent Haiku! Break the Rules Gurl! Loved it! And the coconut trees says a story that you are from God’s Own Country!
Are you?
Ajay Pai’s latest…Hey, Did you find Lil Ishaan?
Yep 🙂 you guessed right… and thank you so much for the kind words.
Bhavya’s latest…Dear Diary,
Greetings from the UBC! I love your haiku. For a first attempt, it is wonderful. The first line has four syllables, instead of five, but I wouldn’t change a thing. I used to shy away from haiku as well, until I had to write one for a poetry challenge. Something in me clicked and now, I love writing them, especially continuous haiku (several haiku grouped together as one poem). Keep writing!
Antoinette Dickson’s latest…today? oy vey!
Thank you Antoinette. I will keep the things you mentioned in mind. Hey, its glad to meet you thanks to the UBC 🙂

Corinne Rodrigues’s latest…Taking Turns With The Gardening
Thank you Corinne.
I was so apprehensive to put this up, that I pestered Meena a lot before actually swallowing the lump in my throat and hit the publish button.
I thought I left a comment … anyway, I love the imagery in this especially the tall swaying palms – palm trees are my favourite as they are so elegant.

Richa Singh’s latest…“Your life needs clarity”- Part 11
It definitely is an oscar thingie Richa 🙂
I tried for more than 17 hours before I came up with these 17 syllables I think 😛

Shouldnt it have been a broken skull with all those swaying coconut palms?
Maybe that’s why the lonely heart.. heart misses the head 😀
Love Bhavya. I loved ur Haiku..was just in a mischievous mood 😀
Ha ha ha 😀
The heart definitely misses the head cuz it just got smashed by a coconut from heaven 😛
