Prompt: Expectation
Pigeon gently lands
on her kitchen's window sill;
his bites of "roti"
and sometimes:
darkness descends and
she looks at her window sill;
dried bits of "roti "
Pigeon expects her to offer "Roti" and
she expects him to come and eat...yet:
she expects him to come and eat...yet:
Pigeon gently lands,
doesn't find his bites of roti;
window is closed
Another morning;
fluttering of pigeon's wings,
music to her ears
RS:)
"Roti" is a Hindi word for kind of Indian Bread..
What a lovely narrative, Very visual and filled with kindness.

I must try that roti ~ Nice haiku RS ~ Wishing you Happy New Year ~
ReplyDeleteCheers ~
Nice set. I can see the pigeon visiting.
ReplyDeleteWhen offered free in most instances the appreciation is reduced. It is good sometimes to create a demand. Traders do that. Brilliant observation Ramesh! Happy New Year to you!

Your haiku always create story which in and of itself is a talent few possess.
