well, it's nice someone knows about the 'proper syllable counts' of a Haiku! i guess one could [you DID] use " patters" for rain, especially if it hits a hard surface, like a tin roof. but i'd opt for " splatters" . hey! there is a very tiny bug/insect? crawling over my PC monitor, over my comment area. how DARE it! ! ? bri :)
Superb! ! ! ! Paper boat and childhood memories are inseparable.10/10
A beautiful Haiku dear Bipasha! I derive a great pleasure each time I read it!
Rain patters outside and I see children staging a drama that I used to stage during my childhood. What a poem!
Very cute...but I don't think they are lost totally....marooned and sheltered somewhere deep they are there for us to relive with them....wonderful haiku- 10
Hi Bipasha, Wow! Wonderful haiku. Loved it. Rain pattering outside rekindling the memories of the childhood. The nostalgia. Paper boats! Lovely. I am reminded of a lovely poem for children in Malayalam by Jnanapeeth Award winner and great poet late G. Sankara Kurup, on paper boats. I studied it in my fifth grade and still remember every line. Thank you.
Beautiful Haiku...Paper boats carrying childhood memories. Loved reading it.
You have so nicely portrayed the childhood images in a nostalgic mood during rains. Thanks.
A fascinating Haiku that brings my memories back to my childhood! Each time I read this, i remember saint poet's poem 'Paper Boat'...The brevity of expression articulates volumes!
Great haiku reminds childhood sweet memories; it is also of pastoral classic, loved it, thanks for sharing the poem with us, ++++++++++++++++++ 10
This is a fabulous Haiku! Very precise yet powerful expression Bipasa! I would visit this Haiku again and again! You have wonderful power of creativity! Keep it up!
A great succinct write with compelling imagery. It brings wonderful childhood memories.10
i love the mood created in this poem and how deep those three lines are.
The memory of happy childhood is deeply reflected through this beautiful Haiku....This reminds me R. N. Tagore's Paper Boat....My boat will be floating on and on and it will reach some strange land......these types of poetic imagination comes to a poet with pattering of rain! Beautiful.....10
This recreates memories of a simple, but very happy childhood..very nice! ...10
Memory of floating boats is childhood
