HAIKU on LAUGHTER
We sweat in summers
Lie shivering in the cold
Seasons laugh at us
Why do you cry so?
Who took away your sparkle?
Laughter questions me
Why do clowns dress up?
Painted faces, red noses
Laughter hides their pain
Did you laugh today?
Bet it felt good to do so
Sorrow asks a smile
She skips happily
Unmindful of tragedy
Tears follow laughter
When sorrow plunges
A knife in to laughter’s heart
Sobbing souls endure

My pleasure, Reema. I have been preoccupied lately and haven’t participated in the same for some time now 🙁
Writing a haiku is a special talent. You did a great job. I loved when you said “sorrow asks smile”.
Parul, I am still learning the steps to write a good haiku. Thank you.
