CHHAT HAIKU

Offering the sun
obeisance in water--
chhat worshippers


Semi nudes
bathe the setting sun
in river




Waxing crescent
searches the setting sun
worshipped in water



Like them the moon
impatient to bow to
the rising sun



--R.K.SINGH

I'm quite unfamiliar with chhat, but these are eloquent images.

I love these all, RK..

They are visual and involve the senses.

What is wonderful is how much they pack into so few words!

I also love the one about Scary Street/Night.

LOL!...boy, can I relate!

Love,
