ReplyDeletewow...lovely ones :)
ReplyDeleteLovely haiku. Pranav used 'ku' in an aesthetic style.'last load' haiku by Ken is an expression of classical innovation and creativity.Ken's imagism incorporating 'zoka', and 'yugen' in the haiku is highly appreciative.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Daryl.
ReplyDeletePoorni, glad you liked.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, PK. For those who don't know and are curious about "zoka," see Don Baird's article at simply haiku. For yugen, check here. Don
ReplyDeleteThe chiaroscuro in Pranav's haiku is stunning; and, how can i not just luv the zen of Ken's haiku.
ReplyDeleteThis one of Issa's reading for the first time just fits the mood set by the first two; good choice
much love...
Gillena:
ReplyDeleteGlad all three of these hit the mark.

Dear Don, thanks so much for considering my poem worth publishing.
ReplyDeleteIt is my greatest privilege to find my little piece alongside the beautifully imaged ku written by Ken.
And thank you everyone for your kind words and feedback. It is encouragement from readers and poets like you that makes neophytes like me to strive harder. :)
Warm regards.
Pranav:
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind note - the comments, I believe, speak volumes. You will have to shed that neophyte label, my friend.
Don
