triveni spotlight A FEATURE EVERY ALTERNATE DAY! hosts: Vidya Shankar and Teji Sethi GUEST EDITOR: Shloka Shankar 13 June 2024
cobalt blue —
guessing the colour of sky
in your land
– Geethanjali Rajan
Under the Basho, Modern Haiku section 2016
Albert Camus said, “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.” All of us have a favourite season, and summer has always been mine. With this month’s spotlight, I wanted to capture the essence of summer in all its glory (early, mid, late), however fleetingly. Skip some stones, chase a firefly, leisurely sip coconut water, or bite into a melon. I hope you enjoy dipping your toes in the river of haiku or stop by to become one with the quintessentially blue, blue skies.
Thank you all.

Good one!
A splendid verse.
The different shades of blue
I love this. Is the weather depicting the sky's colour elsewhere? I have noticed when I travel that the sky can be a different shade of blue depending on where you are.
Such a beautiful haiku, thank you for sharing this one.
