Untitled haiku

シンガポールで
コーヒを飲みます
永遠の夏

Sipping coffee here
Heat of Singapore tropics
Eternal summer

Untitled

No, my trip to the
sea-shore
wasn't a dream
See-
The sand on my feet-

Away to (hopefully) safety: A poem, written after reading Loung Ung's "First they killed my father"

Wordlessly,
I smacked the coffee-stain
on its rump-
And checked-
Was it gone?
Maybe, the sea - where I had sent it to - was not its home,
but then,
neither was I;
Or, I could no longer be

A haiku in the 21st century

Sea-water. Wet socks.
What is that shiny thing there?
I don't know. Space-ship?

Sea-water. Salty.
What is that shiny thing there?
Satellite debris

Durians

During a durable durian season
Tourists carefully took a taste
Oh! Wheezing and sneezing
Some abstained
Durian, so divisive
The pulp, so cohesive
Its spikes, can't help but pierce
Eat it thrice, does it induce tears?
Run away from the porcupine-husk
It gets solitude, at last
A protective shell repels;
Invites lovers; disgusts all else
Durian, what is it?
Must be some evil treat!
Creamy flesh, pungent smell
Don't complain about this hell
Nest of centipedes, lay in wait
Come ye, brave hunters,
'tis not too late!
'tis harvest season —
Who wants some?
Durian-lovers —
I bid you come!
