Haiku

 
Haiku is a kind of Japanese poetry, confining itself into three lines and usually seventeen syllables. Previously called 'hokku', it was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of 19th century.



















Have you seen the flower 
Eagerly blooming her petals  
Talk to the sun?

















One green meadow
Bathed in bright sunlight  
Invited some fresh flowers.
















Bright and cheerful flowers  
Serve the guide  
Hiding his canoe!



















The eager face of the blue sky,  
Takes a peek  
The monsoon clouds!



















Vestige of the caravan

In the scorching sun
Covered by sand dunes.

Tibet - a free nation

Nepalese police arrest Tibetan monk protestors during a sit-in protest in front of United Nation Office in Kathmandu, Nepal. 17 March 2008. Hundreds of Tibetan refugee in Nepal staged a sit-in at UN office demanding Justice and Independent Investigation of Killings in Tibet. Police intervened with a baton charge and arrested more than 50 
protestors.

Trouble began when security guards had to tackle a man identified as a Green Party activist as he tried to reach torchbearer and 400-metres hurdles world champion Stephane Diagana at the Eiffel Tower.

The Olympic torch was met with widespread protests and scuffles between demonstrators and police Sunday as thousands turned out to protest Olympic host China's human rights record and its recent clampdown on Tibet.
