The roaring silence
The prized beloved in tow
Nothing short of bliss
This Haiku is dedicated to my dear friend Jyotsna who sent me the blissful picture of these lions in their divine abode in Kenya; which inspired me to write this Haiku.
A Haiku is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five; traditionally evoking images of the natural world.
Shared with Haiku Horizons

Hey Sonia, so happy to finally see you on Drishti…here’s a warm welcome 🙂 Am glad you learnt something new, but don’t stop at that now.
