A TUESDAY FEATURE

hosts: Muskaan Ahuja, K.Ramesh

guest editor: Arvinder Kaur


Only the unpublished poems (that are never published on any social media platform/journals/anthologies) posted here for each prompt will be considered for Triveni Haikai India's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


If a poet wants feedback, then the poet must mention 'feedback welcome' below each poem that is being posted.


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 !!

Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.”

― Ray Bradbury


During our life's journey we learn and unlearn many things but we must realise

that learning to move on and going with the flow of life is something that all of us have thought about at one time or the other but find it an extremely arduous process. As said above we must learn to relax. How do you do that and have you really let go of something that you once held close to your heart?

and the spin of the earth

this falling leaf

'.... will willingly'. That's thought provoking. Loved it.

I have come to this forum after ages. OMG - all the poems are so good. The images, the jux, if any, simply delightful. Learning to let go. . .
