The Legacy
My mother in her crisp, printed saris won prizes at annual flower shows. I remember those gorgeous chrysanthemums pots, brimming with love and effort, that won her these accolades.
These days it is the family that continues this tradition. We meet annually to savour an array of pots in a stunning display of colour. My brother’s flowers are spectacular. In a single pot of button chrysanthemums, I have counted 509 heads! My daughter grows desert roses and cacti. I continue my trials into growing.
sunny days —
the seeds sprout
inside their packets

Warmest New Year wishes to all of you from Triveni Spotlight!
Though any day of the year is good to begin something new, the first day of the new year comes with a tinkle of celebration. No better day than this to do something new here on Spotlight.
Presenting a collection of uplifting haibun this month, each that speaks of hope, peace, joy or acceptance, all from the archives of haikuKATHA.
May 2025 be filled with all of the above for you, dear poets.
