HAIKU
Gautam Nadkarni
|
clouded sky
in the light of fireflies
this temple path |
|
| |
|
| |
on the giant banyan
a tree house dad built
spring morning |
| |
|
memories
of a childhood friend
winter grave |
|
| |
|
| |
at home—
only the mosquitoes
for company |
|
|
veranda breeze —
scent of wild roses
from next door |

Gautam Nadkarni is a 52 year old artist, living in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India. Although he has a degree in chemistry from Bombay University, he was always fascinated with literature and fine art. He has been writing free verse for many years but stumbled upon haiku poetry on the Internet quite by accident. Simply Haiku was the first haiku journal he read, and after reading it last year he was "snared." His haiku and senryu have been published in Frogpond, Mainichi Haiku Column, Stylus, Lynx, Paper Wasp, Wisteria, Bottle Rockets, Asahi Haiku Column and elsewhere. He says that writing haiku is more than a hobby for him...it is an obsession!
