  1. A brilliant ku.The use of the word phrase, "shaking off yesterday" is a depiction of poignancy in image manifestation. Congratulations, Rashmi.

    early dawn–
    millions of stars
    in dark

    dawn break–
    I wash my night image
    for an early arrival

    1. Thank you Padhy ji for your gracious comments _/\_

      I particularly like the imagery and depth 'millions of stars in dark ' and 'early arrival'.There is just so much to read in that.
      Thank you for posting the two haiku.

  2. As usual, I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date; no time, no time …down the dark rabbit hole, way past the event horizon, not late, no date, no time, no time, only in wonderland…

    in the length of a breath shooting star

    Again, I enjoyed your poem just like the one in the future!
