Haiku
They drown in a sea
Of words where tradition chokes
Them with red bandhini.
They pray to salvage
secret remains of lost selves
surrendered to marriage.
The bangles, earrings,
Payals make noise so women
Wont be forgotten.
Thus they call their men
like ghosts lost in the memory
of humdrum routine.

What is it with the new name?
Princess Joya ... hmmm ....
'haiku' is a poem with three lines and usually seventeen syllables written in a style that is traditional in Japan,:(

yes i agree.... but if you count the syllables in each verse they are 5, 7, 5 respectively adding up to 17. i know it should only be 3 lines but then multiple verses came out, so. i know its not pure... obviously good haikus are way more concise and hard hitting. but i seem to have too many words in me :(
