Haiku Fest

Buddha

The Buddha smiled and

Touched his own heart for once to

Choose death o’er haikus

Christ

Deliver me, Lord,

From the cross of the preachers

Mostly blog haikus

Mahatma

Shoot me Godse dear

Save the world from the winter

of barren words drear

Haiku

Death by words without

My fate in leaves that never

Grew syllable count

Inspired a little by Umashankar Pandey and largely by blogger-haikuers
