Haiku on Solitude
byDeborah Bennett 29th July 2024


this river too
flows toward loneliness -
hunter's moon

from the gangway
no one passes through -
october light

all the leaves
treeless -
autumn moon

those who are near
are far away -
wind through the roadside blooms


Poems on Solitude
by Fatma Zohra Habis 30th July 2024

winter isolation
I read a book
with a thousand pages

morning solitude
alone with my thoughts where
rain falls softly

moment of realization
alone on the beach
just the sound of waves

Ku on Solitude
By Kavita Ratna 31st July 2024

tripping over…
an ear-worm
interrupted

the caress
of coral tipped parijatas
blushing sky

craning up
walls grow tall…there
a slice of sky

Short Verse on Solitude
By Swaraj Raj, 25th July 2024

at eventide
a thousand dreams bloom
in forest’s eyes

splashes of desire
in a waterlogged paddyfield
an egret in breeding attire

dangling on a spider’s web
glistening dew drops
wondrous union of beauty and terror


Haiku on Solitude
By Steliana Cristina Voicu 26th July 2024

scented chaos
plum blossoms cover the bench
while waiting for you

pandemic queue at the store -
the distance between us
a MilkyWay

magnolia losing petals…
the only place our dreams
meet each other

Teleajen river -
how endearing the wind
through the autumn reed
