Smiles Grow on Stones


Entry for Haiku Heights prompt: Blemish

Scars on Moon's face
Nature's blemish turns a boon
Saves from ill will...



For One Single Impression prompt: Lonely
Thanks to Harshadji for a very thoughtful prompt.. it makes one contemplate a lot.. here's my humble attempt , a cluster of haikus....


Smiles Grow on Stones

Storm kills flowers; Sad
Butterfly dreams of new; and
Doesn’t feel lonely

Far deep in the sky
A lonely star fades away;
Many more appear

Happy Moon shines
Amidst stars; sends smiles to
Lonely Earth

A step forward
Heart lights on the palm
Loneliness vanishes

Friendship with
Loneliness; books on shelf
Tap feet and sing

Lonely hearts
Beam with delight; a handshake
Tells all with feel

Millions of fireflies
Descend on dark lonely lane
Smiles grow on stones

  2. after a sad episode, comes a happy, hopeful moment!

    i like the thoughts and spirit of your haikus...;-) never-ending positivity, it's like...'after the storms comes a bright day'!

    or...'behind the clouds, the sun is still shining'...:-)

    stars, moon, fireflies, flowers, friendship, they all make us a happy lot! loneliness seem to vanish like magic!

    i love the totality of your Kus Ramesh!
