Jayashree Maniyil
Born: India
Resides: Melbourne, Australia
Haiku happened to Jayashree in 2011, and she continues to enjoy a very casual and steady relationship with writing haiku and other related Japanese short forms. She has had some of her verses published in reputed haikai journals. Jayashree likes to socialise from a distance, loves going for walks and taking photos on her mobilephone, she loves snacking and nibbles like a bird through the day.
haiku
windy night ...
the winter moon nestled
between the reeds
morning rush –
the day moon merges
with the sun
crackle of twigs
everywhere the smoke
gathering the sky
growing birdsong to birdsongs the limbs of a banyan
