Two Worlds Apart


















A wet cold monsoon,

I see snow one rainy day,

A dream in two worlds.

  10. @Insp Saahab - Keep on writing. I know you'll be there.Tthe 3 lines of haiku seem easy but actually it's quite difficult to write a good one. That's how I feel. All the best for your short stories! :)

  11. You always exceeded it Balqis! You have the authority to use nature as a main theme for your thought provoking haikus because you are a nature lover yourself! I guess, I have the same dream too, but it happens in two different world, here in the Philippines, it's impossible to have snow unless I will have the chance to travel in the far west... Thank you so much for sharing this :)

  27. Hello Balqis.
    Please forgive my lateness in visiting. I have fallen somewhat behind & am only just now on catch-up duty.

    I don't know too much about these poetry forms, although I come across them while reading other blogs.
    Your words are magical & I love the imagery. It's not snowing yet in my area, but we still have plenty of time...it will come.
    Lovely expressions.
    Thanks for sharing my friend. I always appreciate your visits & comments.

  28. Hello Andy!
    It's nice to see you again. It's alright, Andy, you can be here at your convenience. I understand the situation we're in where work is concerned. :)

    Haiku is a short poem consisting of three lines with 5-7-5 syllables. I love its simplicity though it's quite difficult, sometimes, to pen down thoughts in so brief a sentence/phrase. Anyway, I like to try. Thanks a lot for your kindness. I appreciate so much your visit. :)
