dim light in the bus…
a tiny finger counts
the stars

I write haiku, tanka and free verse. My works have appeared in magazines and anthologies published in India and abroad. I work as a teacher in a J Krishnamurti School in Chennai, India.
abandoned dog . . .
looking at the face of
every pedestrian
dawn…
cuckoo after cuckoo
after cuckoo
chirping of sparrows-
morning sunrays on the buddha
in the temple
october night-
chatter of frogs
in the school pond
yellow leaves…
I search for
a tennis ball
sunrise in the river…
I let the fish
bite my toes
cool evening-
a fish nudges a pebble
in the aquarium
party in the new house-
a wasp looks for a place
to build its nest
twilight-
pink bougainvillea over
both sides of a wall
summer afternoon-
a sea breeze finds
its way through the heat
journey of a millipede-
whiteness of the wall
around it
fading evening light-
small glow of a lamp
up in the mountain
fading evening light-
thud of a basketball
on the board
slowly coming down
the spiral of leaves-
the evening light
evening on the terrace-
parakeets over green treetops
a shade different…
