Do You Haiku?
This is my first Haiku in samskRtam. I have a few insignificant ones in English.
pUrNachandrika
swapna manDalam
chittaja rAgamAlika
The fullmoon light
In the fantasy world
A heart-born ode
I like this one very much for its inherent musical touch. purNachandrika is a karNAtik rAga. The famous tyAgaraja kIrtana "telisi rAma chintana" is in this rAga. rAgamAlika is usually a composition with each stanza in a different rAga.
SiSira Rtu
chAtakAyAh nirIkshaNa
kArtIka dIpam
Cold dark season
The bird's longing
For winter lamps
The next one is just a fluke. I was trying to maintain the 5-7-5 syllable rule. Dont think too hard about it. I failed to include a good hidden meaning into it. Very seasonal in nature. Please ask if you cannot decipher the language.
Hope to post more haikus in samskRtam soon.

Simple crisp and nice, but why don't you write some in Tamizh/Telugu (Sorry, I don't remember your mother tongue)
can you add a translation for this please? I don't understand.
My bad :( Will add now.
thanks!
