Rustling fallen leaves
Autumn whispers dulcet songs 
I simper in pain! 

The beauty of Autumn lies in its reciting the forlorn tales of the END… The symphony of rustling leaves tells the world how beautifully dreams could be crushed!

Unshed tears sing the songs of Autumn leaves, impeded to break the levees of eyelids. The drops of disdain turn rebel when their stream is suppressed. They peter out and erupt into an effervescent grin. The rules of melancholia are defied.

Unshed tears are like the dewdrops on night flowers which bejewel them in the shimmering glow of the moon and die with the very first encounter of the dawn. They vanish away even before the world beholds them. And, then blooms a new sparkle, smile.

Now you know, why unshed tears brighten a sad face, why eclipsed moon is much coveted…and, why dry west winds are fragrant! …That’s the reason some people have too much of vanity, and the world knows why Monalisa smiled so beautifully…

Isn’t it pain which adds to beauty?

Do I need to pluck off my (high)brows to pose a La’ Monalisa?

…I simper in pain…

Pain

A Haiku is a Japanese poetic from, an unrhymed and unrhythmic micropoem told in a syllable count of 5-7-5, respectively in 3 lines.

Unlike a platter full of delicacies, haiku offers a soul satiating morsel, a canapé of appeasing taste. Like a glimpse of almighty when in oblivion, like a transitory encounter with your imaginary muse during creation…

A haiku portrays the beauty of nature. It’s  nature’s abundance encapsulated in a nutshell… but, when nature unfurls into human emotions, a haiku evolves into a senryu.
