Haiku on Pause & Reflection
byGovind Joshi 26th Aug 2024


park bench
slow drift
of the clouds

unfolding
a taro leaf
monsoon evening

rearranging furniture
upstairs
rumbling clouds


Haiku
by Deborah Bennett 27th August 2024

sunrise in the fog -
to scatter the old darkness
to bind up the storm

midnight peaches
in a blue tea bowl -
waning crescent moon

braiding sweet grass
on the front porch stoop -
full flower moon

Micro Poems on Pause & Reflect
By Vijay Prasad 28th August 2024

taste
the palate of void
her many tongues

gradually i am thinging inside the thing that things

between
i and the gaze –
nothing

pause the space of neither

a former present preservers itself in the now

hotoke :
i fold the wind
and become nothing

Haiku on Pause & Reflect
By Maurizio Brancaleoni 29th August 2024

motionless hoverflies —
all the cars
have a destination

air conditioning —
a computer that
nobody touches

two old men at the café —
another day
to talk to oneself


Haiku
By Giuliana Ravaglia 30th August 2024

quiet on the lake -
of my restless wandering
only glimmers

and yet it returns
among reddish clouds
a new day

barefoot
I'm still chasing you
my young summer
