triveni spotlight A FEATURE EVERY ALTERNATE DAY! hosts: Vidya Shankar and Teji Sethi GUEST EDITOR: Shloka Shankar 27 June 2024
from blue to slate grey parjanyajapa

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.

drooling monkeys
and yellowing mangoes -
a burdened tree
dawn chorus opening new perspectives
cracked earth –
prayer for rain accelerates
its rhythm
(feedback welcome!)
I had to look this one up, such a powerful image in this ku.
