FEATURED POET: RADHEY SHYAM

Galatea Resurrects mourns the passing, even as it celebrates the life, of Radhey Shyam. As the following article notes, he was a noted haiku poet. It was an honor and a blessing for him to also try his hand at the hay(na)ku, samples of which we print below:

butterfly

love letter

a blooming bud

*

desire

a signature

on life’s page

*

earth

ever in motion

no boredom

*

gossips

are chewinggums

we do relish

*

grammar

is makeup

of lady language

*

gut

enters my room

without notice

*

humour

like moon

glorifies dark hours

*

kite

in a sky

tail on earth

*

moonlight

love song

to sleeping earth

*

rose

with thorns

song of harmony

*

wants

restless waves

ocean of life

*

war

is kindlier

than terrorized peace

*

wind

a nomad

no permanent house

*

work

done is

signature of time

Galatea Resurrects thanks Rama Kant for alerting us to these wonderful hay(na)ku.
