Haiku * 10

My collection of original haiku and senryu (in English and may be in Khasi too). 'Haiku * 10' is my aim to write at least ten haiku/senryu concerning ten people and issues that are important to me. In the end I should end up with a collection of a hundred haiku and senryu. We will see what develops after that. The ten are: a. Shillong (my home town), b. my family, c. my Christian faith, d. Khasi Onomastics, e. Corruption, f. Love, g. Jainsem, h. Cancer and AIDS and HIV, i. Trafficking and j. Ecology/Nature.

but the phone wakes me with

multi-coloured lights

mushrooms picked by mother

little umbrellas

women of the world

unite for truth not falsehood

o eucalyptus

for the pains of my life

you have no relief
