Rings of joy.


Bells of laughter ring,
circle of joy gets bigger,
children holding hands.
***************************
Gleaming rings of gold,
dipped in sweet syrup of love-
yummy jalebis.

      Glad you liked my take Rallentanda :) Jalebi is a deep-fried sweet dish that is soaked in sugar syrup.

      Thank you for your kind words Kathy, the second haiku is about a delicacy from India called Jalebi which resembles a fried pretzel dipped in sugar syrup, sinfully delicious :)
