Three reasons why Haiku is a wonderful way of expressing feelings.
Welcome to CHOWK Zinnia. We hope to see more
from you.

Zinnia:

Ripe, bright, sensual...and crisp and caressing.

Aamir:

Would you have asked Ghalib why he wrote, ``Yoon to main bhi mooh mein zabaan rakhta hoon``? Kabhi to sharam karein aap...sometimes you quote such wonderful things and then you end up with this. If the poet wanted to be obvious, then verses would not be necessary. Samjhein?

Dear Zinnia and other poetry lovers:

Plz forgive my uncouth comment but imagine my frustration that I could only understand one out of three Haikus i.e. ``Morning``.

The ``Ripe`` reminds me of a recently shown Madhhuri Dixit movie on Z, titled ``Koyla`` in which she played a village girl in her early teens, with a pot belly and very aggressive breasts.

The ``Fantasy`` makes me queasy, I dont know why?

I must apologize again but that is how I feel most of the time when I read poetry at Chowk. May be I am poetry impaired but then again I understand everything that Zehra Rizvi writes.

Welcome to Chowk Zinnia:

These were well-written; enjoyed ``Morning`` and ``Ripe.`` I think for the next time, maybe you need to add more space between the different pieces, will improve the layout of your works.

Regards,

Kiran
