A TUESDAY FEATURE

hosts: Padma Rajeswari, K. Ramesh

guest editor: Lakshmi Iyer

Only the unpublished poems (that are never published on any social media platform/journals/anthologies) posted here for each prompt will be considered for Triveni Haikai India's monthly journal -- haikuKATHA, each month.

Poets are requested to post poems (haiku/senryu) that adhere to the prompts/exercises given.

Only 1 poem to be posted in 24 hours. Total 2 poems per poet are allowed each week (numbered 1,2). So, revise your poems till 'words obey your call'.

If a poet wants feedback, then the poet must mention 'feedback welcome' below each poem that is being posted.

Responses are usually a mixture of grain and chaff. The poet has to be discerning about what to take for the final version of the poem or the unedited version will be picked up for the journal.

The final version should be on top of the original version for selection.

Poetry is a serious business. Give you best attempt to feature in haikuKATHA !!

For a change, I have a poem. I am a bathroom singer and here it is 👍

bathroom singing

the Sound of Music

drown the drain

                   Failed Haiku, Volume 8, Issue 94

‘Good the buffaloes didn’t turn up.. singing was manageable’, said Mother!

                            ‘It only drowned the drain!!’ 

Tickle your laughing cells and allow me to read your ‘out of the blue’ comedy arranged in that formless to a form attire put to your best formula!

Thank you All!
