A Haiku on love, changing it’s meaning with changing times! It’s quite saddening when love becomes lewd, for transcendence turns transient.
Haiku Haiku
Fatal attraction
Reason of ruination
lust surpasses love
— Sangeeta
A Haiku is a Japanese poem traditionally comprising of seventeen syllables, in three lines of ‘five’, ‘seven’, and ‘five’, which evokes natural images, now a days referred to as [highlight]#micropoetry[/ highlight].

I liked the Haiku.
But couldn’t relate it with the image. Or i am too young to understand the image. 🙁
Too young ???…. I Thought you were above 18. Even my 16 years old understood it, while she was helping me in the Tec. part of this post.
Well, this image is the illustration of ‘The Holy Bible’ painted by the great artist of medieval times ‘Michelangelo’. My haiku depicts how Eve ( the first woman ) got seduced by Satan and tempted towards the forbidden fruit ( sin ).
Hope I’m clear now Mr. Parashar. 🙂
Lust surpasses love or lust is love in our times….loved it
Truly said. Thanks a lot. 🙂
Sad but true.
Btw, congratulations for Maitreni. 🙂
And a special request Sangeeta Ji. Love to read a poem in your words describing the feeling of a mother Jab pal bhar me uski beti apne se parayee ho jati hai.
Thank you so much Ravish.
I would definitely try to meet up to your expectations. Though It’s too difficult for me to even think of the moment, as my daughters are the inseparable part of me, still I would try to pen-down the feelings when the moment comes. 🙂
Thanks again for your wishes. 🙂
Loved the haiku esplly the last line…
Thank you Shweta. Glad that you liked the thought. 🙂
