And just like that, it’s April again. And with it the Great Indian Summer has arrived.
It has become something of a tradition for me now, to indulge in poetry for the soul when March comes to a halt and the sun flares up overhead.
This time though, no more the exquisite structures for me, or inflexible rules. I have decided to simply go with flow, although I do hope to stick to the theme of ‘Summer’, and my inspiration for Day 1 comes from the early morning hours of April, when the air has cooled just a tiny bit, and bird chatter wakes me up.
So here’s a haiku… My three lines and seventeen syllables.
Mango-scented breeze
Carries cuckoo’s song of love
Piercing enigma

I would love to hear your thoughts about the haiku.
You had me at mango-scented breeze. I love the summers only for mangoes 🙂

😀 I get that totally! Mangoes are a moniker for Indian summers.

such a sweet and pleasing haiku. I’m a mango lover so I’m anyway sold on that line itself 😀

Indian summers are incomplete without mangoes. The reason why I inaugurated my theme with that line, and I am glad you picked it 🙂
