far away--
the echoes bridge
our closeness

summer vacation
the playground attains
full attendance
 *
ljetni praznici
igralište postiglo
punu posjećenost

***
dense forest–
there is still light
between shadows
*
gusta šuma–
još uvijek svjetlost
između sjena

Whispers, May 2016

A Story

Under the old bridge
the boulders narrate
the abandoned journey.

By Pravat Kumar Padhy

Talking Time

Morning breeze
all the flowers start
talking to each other.

“The poet brings light to darkness” created by Smita Padhy, Pravat’s daughter, on a visit to the USA.

the poet scripts
her well-lit voyage
ripples of love
the darkness paints
gently on the silken edges

Pravat Kumar Padhy‘s tanka highlights the power of a poem to impress itself on our minds, the page and the world. Pravat is a poet-laureate in Bhubaneswar, India. His short form of Japanese poems have appeared in many international journals.

long meadow--
my shadow turns
green

Englyn, Issue One January 2016
(Ed. Liam Wilkinson)

The Dream
The kids
Gather tiny pebbles.
In the evening they return
With streams of dream.

Saddened

Silently the tree

Sheds drops of rain.

She wasps her eyes

Over the melting edge of grief.
