Life snatches away friends — this is one of the worst adversities of modern day. We have no time for having friends. Sadly, I don’t have any and I try to befriend with my daughters, mother, sister,…. family. But still miss those friends, with whom I used to pour my heart out, to whom I shared all my secrets, dilemmas, frustrations and melancholy. And at times, it feels no one is my confidante but my shadow.
~ Haiku ~ ~ Haiku ~
In this scorching sun,
Come my shadow, above me
Be a friend in need
– Sangeeta Mishra
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 #micropoetry.
