Two evocative Haikus by Dr Swaraj, exclusively for Different Truths.
(1) The Fog In a brume engulfed field The lone scarecrow A silent sentinel (2) The Dew The perching Prinia preens On a dew-drenched wheat stalk The tender stalk bends to its will

“The lone scarecrow”. A really enchanting thought, sir. The picture too recalls many memories. Its an amalgamation of many thoughts….
Thanks Aman beta.
Excellent Dr sahib 👌👌👌no words 👏👏👏
Thanks a lot, Dr. Sahib.
It is very difficult to sum up an evocative idea in three short lines. You have created the magic in both of these. The accompanying images make the verse profound and penetrating. Another valuable aspect of the first Haiku is that it carries with it a phenomenon of our agrarian life in a very significant manner. Thanks for such poetic expressions.
Thanks a lot, Sir.
