Bio Sketch
Agus Maulana Sunjaya is a physics and mathematics teacher. He resides in Tangerang, westward to the capital of Indonesia. His works have been published in many online/print journals and have won several awards in international haiku contests. Gardening and practicing Aikido are his ways to spend leisure days.
L1 sets the scene and mood while unexpected yet visually and emotionally poignant L3 makes this breakup haiku multi-sensorily effective.
ReplyDeleteAnd on a second reading, L1 takes on a symbolic significance, marking the beginning of the end of a relationship.
And my haiku below could be read as a sequel to Agus's:
snow drifting ...
all her colorful words
about love
