Muliebrity : Haiku

Muliebrity : Haiku


Indian Bloggers

I received this  rose as a gift, which was breathtakingly beautiful, but not smelling. It reminded me of the  agony of a woman who is being praised for her beauty, not for her virtues. My haiku depicts her conscience and void.

Colors’ concoction.

Treated like a hybrid rose

sans any fragrance

You made your point beautifully, Sangeeta Ji. It reminded me of a statement of the book I’ll be talking in my next post:

“Of all men, you should know what a woman goes through when the man she loves considers her only as someone to be protected and not a partner? Don’t the scriptures say that the bride is also Sahadharmacharini?”

The author’s words are truly meaningful. Even our mythological scriptures convey the same message. But their meaning changed with time as people blame their roots and tradition for the gender inequality.

I’ll be waiting your review of the mentioned book. It seems quite meaningful. 🙂
Thank you so much. 🙂

Virtuality is more needed than the physical beauty. Physical beauty may fade Out like that of the rose, but virtue, don’t die. It’s fragrance will be traveling through ages. A beautiful and meaningful and powerful Haiku Sangeeta ji, thank you for sharing :))
