Shakhawat Tipu — Haiku

Shakhawat Tipu

.

Haiku

1

Before sleeping

wake up to the dream

unfamiliar flowers

 

2

Flying sparrow

frequent instability

love more

 

3

Alabama flowers

in the ears of the queen

hanging in pain

 

4

Open your mind

a sad tiara bird

is singing alone

 

5

After the wind

the words keep on awake

in eternity

 

6

From the symbol

looking at the face

there is a point

 

7

To escape

gray lightning shines

in the sky

 

8

If the rose spines

understand the beauty of flowers

how much pain her

 

9

Spring goes on

ieave the green pain

in warm love

 

10

Kisses are

turn on the reins

wave spreads
