“Mixtape”
Olives in a Mediterranean mix
Mediterranean olives,
Frolicking on my oily plate,
Garlic fiesta
Swaying trees
The trees sway,
In the golden light,
Of the yellow sun.
The starry sky
The stars cover the sky,
Like a thick blanket,
Beseeched upon the earth.
Paris metro
Apparition of these faces,
Leather shoes, heels and clacks.
Young blood in Paris metro.
Yesterday and today
Yesterday it seemed
That all our heroes were clever,
And changed us globally as one world.
But today,
I am wise so I decided to change
Myself instead of the world.
Bright twilight hibiscus
In the twilight rain,
These brightly hued hibiscus,
Kissed my soft cheeks.
Birdsong
Awakening to birdsong,
Morning glory with a rising day,
Full of hope.
The sun
The sun is rising,
Always seek out the beauty,
Within the mallows of the grass.
The quivering leaves
Dry leaves quiver,
A sudden gust; branches snap,
One blue bird.
My loving friend
Bright eyes,
Wagging tails,
A man’s best friend.
Monsoon season
Long rain,
Nearing monsoon season.
Water fills our clay pots.
Banana leaf
The banana leaf,
Sliced onions and garlics,
Make a fine curry.
Summer’s path
When melodious spring arrives,
Let your past melt in the snow,
Start on a new path to summer.
Wind rage
Over the meadows,
Forest winds howl in rage,
Black bears awake from their slumber.
Full bloom
Summer is in full bloom,
Yellow roses extending,
Flowers’ sweet delight.
Guavas and cherry trees
Watch the cherry trees,
Spring enters with full ebullience,
Wafting scents of guavas.
Autumn equinox
Autumn equinox,
Rain clouds reflect the sunset,
Merely a dream.
Dreamer
Was it all a dream?
I hope not for I once saw the happiness
In Autumn’s eyes again.
Dandelion daydreams
Dandelion daydreams,
In dapples of sunshine with butterflies’ wings,
Like calligraphy strokes.
Masquerade in an Indian summer
Rippling waters,
Behind Venetian blinds,
Masquerade in an Indian summer.
Summer parasol
Stars slowly light up
The illustrious sky,
Like my summer parasol.
Scorching pavement
Walking in the rain endlessly,
The pavement scorches like a frog’s tongue,
Of old memories.
Rain in the dawn
Rain in the dawn,
Smell of morning dew,
Awaken the birds my dear.
Christmas carol by Charles dickens haiku
Enraged fire,
Candlelight blows out,
Whisper of Jacob Marley.
Girl from nowhere
Enriched faces in the rain,
Amongst the crowd of black umbrellas,
Girl from nowhere.
Love never dies, my dear
Deep rolling waves,
Attracted by pale moonlight,
Love never dies doesn’t it?
Broken clocks
Time is running out,
Stopwatches count our last minute,
Broken clocks and glass.
Yellow Ophelia bees
Yellow Ophelia bees crawl in magenta lilies,
Babies peeped out of the nest,
One fine crisp morning.
Black and white
Look beyond the light,
Through the cold shadows of death,
You’ll find black and white.
The innocent buttercup
Amongst the greenery,
A bright yellow buttercup,
Offers innocent nose kisses.
Toddler’s delight
Puddles splash,
Toddlers’ delight,
Of the splashing and sploshing.
Snowflakes’ life
Snowflakes descend upon
Our earth waiting for time to pass
Finally the end of the year.
The baby cow
The baby cow,
Near the green meadows and moon,
Stops and breathes in roses.
Spring ocean
Spring ocean,
Swaying gently across the trees,
Icy blue like my reflection.
Fresh cooking spirit
Long summer rains,
Amidst Japanese rice and all,
Stuck in the pantry was fresh cooking spirit.
Coiled snakes
With a soft crunch,
The rabbit devours,
Coiled snakes.
White cranes
The stillness,
Whites cranes fly,
Over the wispy mountains.
Ice skates
Frozen lakes,
Glissading and sliding,
Pair of ice skates.
Warrior’s dreams
Summers roses,
Nothing remains,
Of the warriors dreams.
Spotted deer
The white dew,
Softness of the spotted deer,
Hiding amongst the tall grass.

Although this is a published piece on Teen Ink, I’m planning on actually published this as a book with several of my other haikus too.
