Haiku - 17 Refugees



Herded like cattle /
stinky boats and trucks, entrapped /
blind dreams, bleeding souls //

You say it all in so few words. "Bleeding souls." <-perfectly descriptive. You're doing an amazing job with a really tough challenge! (I'm not surprised.)

The one on migration is true, most of the times.
I think I did not get the first one though.

Nice read.

Proof that I am not a poet! Very nice.

Rek said...

Thanks @David and @Ramesh for liking them.

@Melanie and @ Toyin...thanks for visiting and enjoying the humble staple.

Thanks @Alex for the visit and the comment. I am not a poetess either.

@Robyn..thanks friend for your awesome words.

@ Anshul (BA)...my apologies for not giving a proper explanation. Has been recified. "sheepish"

@Tom how I wish I had such a book... lose weight without moving an inch and gorging on sweets. :D

Curiously I am not familiar I mean I've heard of them but somehow I've not read them. Your haiku is exceptional =)

Jenny said...

That last haiku. Poignant and haunting. Really touching.

Pat Tillett said...

Nice Haiku... I haven't done them in years! I don't think I've ever seen a complete version of the book. Not yet anyway!

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D

Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
