Haiku Dialogue, 7 April 2021
Note by the Editor
Sometimes when we as haiku poets compose haiku there is a certain joy or happiness that we would experience after composing a haiku. The happiness could be due to various factors:
for example being available to register a moment and write a haiku or it could be because we found the right words and also a certain effortlessness involved in composing that haiku! This feeling is the gift we get for the haiku we have composed, and it keeps as going as a haiku poet! For the December Spotlight I wanted haijins to share such haiku!

Beautiful, Shalini
I’ve been meaning to comment on K. Ramesh’s words about the exquisite joy poets occasionally feel when writing haiku. The words perfectly describe how it is when the poem is created seemingly effortlessly and brings joy and satisfaction to both the poet and readers. I have felt this joy…it fills my heart. ❤️
very nice Shalini.
This haiku is a visual treat! It reminds me of some classic movies!
