My Dear Readers:
NeverEnding Story contributor, Vandana Parashar, published a collection of haiku as a salute to the spirt of womanhood, titled I Am (Title IX Press, 2019), and she shared her fine work as a free download available at Title IX Press website.
Selected Haiku:
ultrasound probe
my mother’s longing
hangs in the air
family picnic
an uncle shows me
his hidden snake
nightfall
a splash of red
between the doll's legs
arranged marriage
an aunt hands me
fairness cream
post-partum
the sky finally clears
of last night’s storm
first day of school
I cry louder
than my daughter
soldier’s home
days on the calendar crossed
with crayons
cousin’s wedding
mother frowns
at my backless gown
Happy Reading
Chen-ou
