Five Haiku by Alok Mishra

cloudy firmament -

the pink lotus is blooming

in rippling water!

□

smoky surrounndings -

a little sparrow is struggling

for its existence!

□

resplendent morning -

ocean’s waves are rejoicing 

after gloomy night!

□

colourful vast sky-

reflected sound of cuckoo

gladdens gloomy heart!

□

sunny surroundings-

thirsty panting land begs for

heavenly shower!
