Senryu Poems
Determination
by Somali Mukherjee
Dogs shall keep barking;
Still, never let them vex you;
It's your life, for sure.
Free and Found
by Somali Mukherjee
Stardom caused me scars;
I'm happy with what I have;
No paparazzi.
Light Needed Within
by Somali Mukherjee
There's light everywhere;
Still, our hearts are full of murk;
We need light indeed.
The Unknown Love
by Raymond Chandler
When the evening sun is slanting,
When the crickets raise their chanting,
And the dewdrops lie a-twinkling on the grass,
As I climb the pathway slowly,
With a mien half proud, half lowly,
O'er the ground your feet have trod I gently pass.
Round the empty house I wander,
Where the ivy now is fonder
Of your memory than those long gone away;
......
By the old temple
by Matsuo Basho
By the old temple,
peach blossoms;
a man treading rice.
Determination
by Somali Mukherjee
Dogs shall keep barking;
Still, never let them vex you;
It's your life, for sure.
Free and Found
by Somali Mukherjee
Stardom caused me scars;
I'm happy with what I have;
No paparazzi.
The Uncanny Fact
by Somali Mukherjee
The more you envy,
The better will I become,
It sounds strange although.
3 Liner: The Tree
by Pallab Chaudhury
As love being filled in
Chlorophylls- returning it
As Oxygen to the earth.

Seabed
by Sidney Carneiro
below the billows
listen to the siren’s song
place your fears to bed
