Muddy Water Tanka

pristine flower
blooms in muddy water;
its fragrance
drowns out the scent of rot
until it feeds the mud

Three Takes on a Lotus Haiku

I
lotus viewing:
still blossom, changing light;
countless sights
II
a still lotus,
a static eye, and shifting
light; boundless hues
III
view one lotus
until the changing light
makes a new bloom

Spring Blossom Tanka

blossoms fall,

tumbling in a stiff breeze;

on the ground

they form a purple shadow,

ignoring the sunlight

DAILY PHOTO: Blast from the Past: 2014 Republic Day Flower Show

Taken in January of 2014 at Lalbagh Botanical Gardens, Bangalore

Since there’s no Republic Day Flower Show at LalBagh this year (owing to the pandemic,) I figured I’d post a couple pics from a few years back (i.e. 2014.)
