Haikus for Five Seasons: Elizabeth Hasan

Elizabeth Hasan

The first call of hope
Fills me as I am reborn,
Lost love forgotten.

So, it is summer
At last. Blue, green, golden
Colour my sad heart.

 

The rains flood the roads.
The Ganges overflows; so
My love follows suit.

 

Dead hearts crunch under
Our feet. The Cornfield Road is
Filled with nostalgia.

 

The winter mist lifts;
The maidan comes into view.
Alas! My pain hides.
