4 Haiku from Hunza

Friends, neither words nor mega pixels can do justice to where I went on Saturday. Forgive me for writing so sparsely, I will consider how better to put it. I do assure you, though, that these are not 'desk-haiku', which is why there aren't the 'correct' number of syllables per line and so on, but they are heart-felt, which is apparently real criteria fot haiku anyway.


tall mountains
poplars at their feet learn height
the heavenward stretch


stone power
avoiding an avalanche
cars creep round


white peak
silver lined in the sky
clouds close in


ice above
fire lines the roadside
the valley in fall

A colorful and a warm welcome to you to the Shangri La from wherever you are traveling, you are in Hunza at the most ideal time of year....my most favorite time there anyway. Hunza is lots more blessed than any other Himalayan valley with such amazing and a colorful autumn and these huge Karakoram giants in the backdrop. Simply no comparision anywhere with this colorful carpet with those black and white walls all around the place...

Have a great trip....

God bless Hunza !
