Happily I breathe..


Written for OSI Prompt : Wheat...  Haiku Heights :  Breathe

A haiku...that stems from my heart...

Aroma of raw wheat
From the puffed-up ‘Roti’
Happily I breathe..

We hail from Punjab, so my wife, when she came to know about this prompt expressed spontaneously...

"What will we eat
If there were no Wheat"
And a  surprised me
Exclaimed, "How sweet!"

    some aroma's can just send you to your happy place! Mine is rose but I will make a point of catching a whiff of some fresh cracked wheat and store that scent in my memory!

    Your wife is a poet
    and didn't know it.

    In the States we have a little ditty that goes:

    "I'm a poet
    and don't know it.
    But my feet show it
    they're Longfellows"
    ..

    Lol, was your surprise a reaction to your wife's spontaneity?
