K. Ramesh on the making of this poem:


The story is this:


Someone brought packets of seeds for a tree planting day in the school I work. I got a chance to see the Banyan seeds. They were very tiny and light indeed! This experience lead me to compose the haiku.

One of those poems that makes me think, I wish I wrote it.


The aesthetics here, can we call it 'Karumi'?

Yes, I have never seen banyan seeds. I thought the roots were the origin of any banyan tree and I also heard that crows wash out the seeds picked up by them and that's how the banyan is!!
