Haiku of the Month – August 2025, The Wee Sparrow Haiku Nook
I appreciate the brevity and juxtaposition in my haiku. Kigo from Ms. Greve’s India saijiki is the heartbeat of this haiku. In one word it conveys a gamut to the reader and invokes curiosity. Anticipation grows with the second line, leading to the aha moment! My haiku conveys the quintessence of monsoon. It provides an opportunity to connect to the simple pleasures of tea and conversation. I continue to enjoy the rigor and metre of writing in seventeen syllables but I have started writing free-form haiku since March 30, 2025. This haiku reflects my nascent versatility.
