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.
~ Haiku Haiku ~
Colors’ concoction.
Treated like a hybrid rose
sans any fragrance
— 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 [highlight]#micropoetry[/highlight].

Thanks a lot Siram and Krithiga. . Glad that you liked the Haiku. 🙂
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. 🙂
The review is online, Sangeeta Ji. You can read it here: http://rvsh.in/AbhaYa

Truly said Mr. Singhal. It’s even more painful for the woman who faces it.
Thanks a lot that you liked my words. 🙂
A very profound and thought provoking haiku. Loved the use of metaphor 🙂
Thank you so much Purba. Glad that you liked the Haiku:) Your appreciation is always special to me. 🙂
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 :))
So rightly said Prasanna. Physical beauty is transient while virtue is transcendent. Glad that you liked the Haiku. Thank you so much. 🙂
