    Looked everywhere for my black towel
    Turned the wardrobe upside down
    So innocently it stared spread over a black chair
    Sonam Palden (Den Haag, Netherlands)
    In the sound
    Of the rustling leaves
    She stood motionless
    Tshering Dolkar (Thimphu)
    The cigarette case lay open
    On his left hand
    A glass of holy water touching his lips
    Tshering Dolkar (Thimphu)
    Shifting in the seat
    Closer to him
    Blown away by a powerful wind
    Tshering Dolkar (Thimphu)
    Upright she stood
    Tearful eyes
    Boys in merriment
    Tshering Dolkar (Thimphu)
    He standing before the crowd
    Uttered
    “The wind taketh me far”
    Tshering Dolkar (Thimphu)
    The doubted man
    In holy black robe ever so long
    Drunk boys around
    Tshering Dolkar (Thimphu)
    The young lady
    Holding the old lady in empathy
    All men scornful
    Tshering Dolkar (Thimphu)
    Drizzling cool rain, lover’s music
    But not mine
    A malfunctioning windscreen wiper
    Karma CW (Thimphu)
    The dust on the car
    Looks even thicker
    Under the evening sun
    Shenphen Zangpo (Himachal Pradesh)

    “May I ask you a question?”
    - a new arrival
    disturbs my train of thought
    Shenphen Zangpo (haiku workshop, Himachal Pradesh)
    A strained face
    - a smile
    The lady in brown produces a haiku
    Shenphen Zangpo (haiku workshop, Himachal Pradesh)
    Waiting
    looking at what it is
    my room
    Namgay Wangchuk (Thimphu)

    Around the corner
    a prayer flag
    dancing in the wind
    Namgay Wangchuk (Thimphu)

    Walking towards home
    a silhouette of a house
    Lhendrupling
    Namgay Wangchuk (Thimphu)

    A man on his knees
    revere the Buddha as his
    son prostrate to him
    Kinley Tshering (Thimphu)
