A misty morning
The sun emerged from the murk
Better late than ne’er !
Better late than ne’er,
Siberian crane migrates
Winter elongates !
Winter elongates
I need to knit more sweaters
Out of words-of-warmth!
Out of words-of-warmth
I built a castle of love
You buried it Snow!
*ne’er- never (Archaic English).

Thank you so much Maniparna . Glad that you liked it. 🙂
Such a wonderful haiku set, Sangeeta ji! loved each one of them with a special mention to the sweater knitting one.. this one is nostalgic and as special as those sweaters knitted with much love and patience!:)
Thank you so much Kokila. We are so busy that no one makes efforts to knit these days. Blame it to social media or other entertainment mediums, hand-knitted sweaters have become passé today. I have knitted a lot in past but now it seems impossible. And you are right, it’s sheer nostalgia.
Glad that you liked these haiku. Means a lot when comes from you. 🙂
Loved the picture, loved the words!
Thank you so much Mridula. Glad that you liked it. 🙂

Loved the flow of the poem. Beautifully written and wonderful photograph 🙂
Thank you so much Purba. Glad that you liked it. Means a lot 🙂
The flow is like a cascade of waterfalls. Somehow a different take on haiku!

Thank you so much Shweta. Glad that you liked it. 🙂
Beautiful……please knot some more warm words…..it is snowing here…..:)
Thank you so much Sunaina. I know I’m too late in replying you and winters might have become quite pleasing there, still I would like to wish you happy snowing. I had witnessed snowing in US & Canada about 20 years back. And it was so beautiful. 🙂
Beautiful
Thank you so much. 🙂
I always loved your Haikus. Nice one.
Thank you so much Jyotirmoy. Glad that you liked them.
Nice haiku. Though, we’d still want to see a proper winter. When it should be at the peak, it feels like winter is yet to come or is long gone.
Thank you so much. But it’s chilling in Norths. Finally winters are here in full swing. 🙂
Lovely one. Happy New Year!
