Some stories linger in flowing water, in changing light, and in the quiet imagination of those who pause to notice. 

Watching sunlight scatter across the surface, I found myself wondering whether every ripple writes a story before letting it go. 

This haiku has been composed in the traditional three-line form, with conscious attention to brevity, imagery, and rhythm, while recognising the flexibility that characterises English-language haiku.

April Poetry Writing Month – Day 14

Photo Inspiration: Laburnum, Englischer Garten, Munich

Young or old, or becoming, there are special moments. Embrace the fleeting joys and accept situations with grace.

Poetic form: Shadorma, said to have Spanish origin, is a 6-line short verse written in 3-5-3-3-7-5 syllable pattern.

Today is Vishu, the New Year celebrated in Kerala in India. The laburnum, which blooms in Spring, is especially cherished during Vishu; its vibrant yellow symbolising prosperity and is considered sacred.
Significant to Lord Krishna.

The night before, we arrange a sacred offering called ‘vishukani’ at homes and temples. It is the first sight that we wake up to, welcoming the New Year with abundance and devotion.
