triveni spotlight A FEATURE EVERY ALTERNATE DAY! hosts: Teji Sethi and Kala Ramesh guest editor: Sanjuktaa Asopa
a falling star
as i part the curtains
at cock crow
perhaps I knew
trust would not last

Editor's Note: The theme is ' The Ephemeral'. My endeavour here is to feature poems that portray the ephemerality of things and emotions.
Such a beautiful tanka!
Hazel, Your Ls 4 & 5 came as a surprise to me. Very nicely done.
