triveni spotlight January 2025

Yesterday a meme on my Facebook news feed asked if there were anyone (alive

or dead) whom I’d want to talk to for one hour, who would it be? I suppose we’re expected to answer Jesus Christ or Gandhi or somebody famous, but I knew immediately who I’d choose: my father. There are so many questions I didn’t think to ask. An hour wouldn’t be enough.

 

Today it seems my wish has been granted. I’m on a clean-out, weeding through

boxes and boxes of his old 35 mm slides …

 

long-gone summers

in faded Kodachrome —

my childhood through his eyes

Warmest New Year wishes to all of you from Triveni Spotlight!


Though any day of the year is good to begin something new, the first day of the new year comes with a tinkle of celebration. No better day than this to do something new here on Spotlight.


Presenting a collection of uplifting haibun this month, each that speaks of hope, peace, joy or acceptance, all from the archives of haikuKATHA.


May 2025 be filled with all of the above for you, dear poets.

I love the introduction in the prose, followed by the subject matter so poignantly portrayed. The haiku complements the prose beautifully.
