Clock keeps ticking on,
squeezing in many flavors,
hungry to taste life.
*****************************************
Moving to new place,
squeezing in memories, gifts-
eyes and bags well up.
*****************************************
Not an inch remains,
buses, trains and roads crammed up-
rush hour traffic woes.
*****************************************
Warmth, support, love, care;
silence speaks a thousand words-
gentle squeeze of hands.
*****************************************

The first and last are my favorites. First so clever and well written. Warm fuzzy feelings from the last.

Yes Sir, at most times just the touch expresses our deepest feelings better than words. Thank you for dropping by:)
DeleteBrilliant haiku, all of them! Well, the image of our traffic woes made me laugh! And the last one is just lovely! :)

My take for squeeze.
Welcome to my blog Jayanth :) We all have tasted the traffic jam in some flavor :P
DeleteSimply wow!! Liked all of them... loved the...hungry to taste life and the last one too! You are too good at it. Need to take lessons from you on Haiku! :)
ReplyDeleteYou just made my day Shilpa :)
DeleteThat does look like Mumbai traffic ;) ..... and my bags do like that even on a short journey!! I never can leave anything behind lest I feel the absence of it ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is Bangalore traffic, but then these kind of scenes are very common in most Indian cities...Oh yes packing is a major task Nanka, esp when you live in a place for a long time and it is time to move on...
DeleteThese are really wonderful and very unique!
ReplyDeleteThanks Candice :)

ReplyDeleteYes Kalpana, Mumbai tops the list of crowded cities.
