This is my first Haiku blog (as opposed to web site) and its an attempt to start writing again... You can also visit my old website: Sangeet's Haiku and Poetry Corner now located on
I am truly blessed to have three beautiful children...12, 10 and 8. This is a series from today - Mother's day in the UK.
mother's day -
my 10 year old comes to the bedroom
at 6.50am...
gifts...
my excitement
and theirs..
scented soap, writing paper, bracelet
the look on his face
as I unwrap each gift
in her hand made card
my 8 year old
has wrapped his own presents:
a peace lily candle ...and handkerchiefs
three children -
discussing the merits
of each others gifts
mum..
hugging each child
tightly

Sangeet,
This is a wonderful series, each piece fine on its own, but all of them resonating with familial love.
Thank you Denis! :)
