Freed you are from ignorance if you,  Read your way through books.  Breed with like minded binds,  Exceed your intellectual looks.    Sight the images that form in your mind,  Light them up with your words.  Right path if you take,...

What on earth is that, an 'a' or 'o'? Can you tell me, or is it a no? Am not able to read this, Is it my age or a miss? A teacher's correction woes, you know!

Through the floating sponge I flew like the lovely bird, Fearless, focussed, undeterred, Ready for the plunge, Into the depths of my life, With confidence by my side.

The terrible sounds of blasts, oh! Unbearable. The stench of blood, flesh and smoke, makes us uneasy. What do you gain ye human, by spreading hatred? Please, let us grow up in peace, shed war, embrace love.

Delving deep into Oneself, brings out the varied Hues that were hidden.

  Eyes fixed lazily at the far off horizon thinking of unknown.   What future holds for Is indeed a mystery. So let's take a guess.

Sweat, blood of millions Transpired the freedom we laud, Alas! They  couldn't see.     The poem was awarded the Certificate of Excellence by United By Ink and is published in the website of UnitedByInk - https://unitedbyink.org/kirti-v-category-haiku-elixir-of-freedom-certificate-of-appreciation/ Image courtesy :...
