My Gulmohar



Here's a haiku i wrote for my seniors. The class of 2007.
with love.

we played
all midsummer games,
soiled and bruised


on the floors

rolling with laughter
and dancing blue.


Life calls.

hush, shush.she mustn't know.
quick,hide.


everything turns yellow.
groping still. i seek.

I spy.

and you became stars

i looked in awe.

a proud kid.


i loved you guys
o archade.love you still.

like gulmohar.


kgp will miss you.

i love you kids...!

for all that we have
laughed
and toiled
and played
longing for the sun to rise above
while merrying in the shade
and wondering....
who were these guys who called them archade?

i long an eternal love from you
but all i fear is
what if my love begins to fade!

this will be a reminder to me of all the love you people gave us..

love you... bachheee..!

for me too. a day well spent.

hw is a poem classified as haiku?

Summer said...

Nikhil-thanx !! :D
Psycho - A typical Japanese Haiku requires the following -
A ). 5, 7 and 5 syllables in three units
B ). Inclusion of a seasonal theme
that hints the season in which
the haiku was composed ( for eg. the word "midsummer"/"when fire flies" in my poem )
C) . When a haiku is cut into two sections,each remain , to a degree , independent of each
other and enrich the understanding
of each other at the same time.
Haikus are primarily unrhyming and contain an element of surprise.
I wrote a free style/international Haikuthat does not follow rule A :D
