With this Brush

Credit: Ratna Pochiraju

In its tiny feet
The sparrow held a paintbrush
To paint its future

Intent on the thought
It flew over the vast sky
Enthralling the world

Note: The poem is a pair of Haiku- 5-7-5 syllables in each line.

    1. I did, but I do have plans of compiling another ebook. It would be too much work to delete the posts later on so I let it be. :)

  7. Amazing. Both Haiku make sense on their individual own as well. Beautiful. And a wonderful painting. :-)
