Poetic Musings: Spiraling Thoughts Haiku by Kala Ramesh

a tornado spiraling thoughts to the sky 

Under the Basho, 2013

Kala Ramesh

Commentary: The link word acts as a media to create subtle images. Here, if we take out "thoughts", it would be a simple prosaic sentence. The word "thoughts" drives the inner urge of the reader to look up the sky and action-based spiraling of tornado for detail logical deliberation. Moreover, it can be classified as a classical monoku with multiple meanings... (excerpted from To the Lighthouse: Monoku: An Experiment with Minimalism in Haiku Literature by Pravat Kumar Padhy)
