Looked up at the sky
To find brightness, warmth! instead,
Found incandescence…
This Haiku is inspired by the blazing and cold winter skies. Whenever I look up at the sky in the hope of finding the sun and a bright warm day, I am amazed by the way it is burning cold even when the sun is up. During the winters, when the sun does show up, it is almost like it has set the sky on fire. The sight is divine! I clicked this picture during our road trip to New York last week.
A Haiku is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five; traditionally evoking images of the natural world

It also reflects the hard fact of life. We hope to find warmth and glow and just are able to get a dim light.
This is the real spirit of haiku, which forces one to contemplate the true hidden meaning.
That’s exactly what Haikus are supposed to do Rakesh, thanks for pointing that out 🙂
