A TUESDAY FEATURE

hosts: Padma Rajeswari, K. Ramesh

guest editor: Jenny Shepherd

Only the unpublished poems (that are never published on any social media platform/journals/anthologies) posted here for each prompt will be considered for Triveni Haikai India's monthly journal -- haikuKATHA, each month.

Poets are requested to post poems (haiku/senryu) that adhere to the prompts/exercises given.

Only 1 poem to be posted in 24 hours. Total 2 poems per poet are allowed each week (numbered 1,2). So, revise your poems till 'words obey your call'.

Responses are usually a mixture of grain and chaff. The poet has to be discerning about what to take for the final version of the poem or the unedited version will be picked up for the journal.

The final version should be on top of the original version for selection.

Poetry is a serious business. Give you best attempt to feature in haikuKATHA !!

the past

has vanished

into snow

flakes fall slowly

like moments of memory

-       A A Marcoff, ‘Blithe Spirit’, Volume 35. Number 1

I invite you to write a haiku/senryu on the theme of end-of life transitions, ability to see permanence in the face of impermanence.
