An English summer
Bridging the evident gaps
Harmony is born
An eye for an eye
One was mine – one was London’s
By the holy Thames
A pretty skyline
Up, above the world so high
A miniscule me
Forgotten childhood
Reincarnates as dew drops
He finally talks!
You, me and our worlds
Coincide just for a while
Time Zones differ
Love gets dimension
As you sing the folk “challa“
Water creates rhyme

Brilliant! I have always wanted to visit London..somehow I feel its the right place for writers..I have no clue why! maybe because so many poets and authors I have read hail from there!
akankshaadureja
I fell in love with London the instant I landed! There is something about it which draws me towards London and I can't really explain the connection! Maybe, it is the same with you. Plan a visit and lets find out together 😉

@arvindpassey
London, as you said, is indeed 'a piece of art – a poetry, a painting, a passion.' I'm sure you'll love the city everytime you're there.

Akanksha I so loved the Haikus. All of them. A perfect ode to a perfect city !
My favorite is the Time Zone one .. and you managed to bring SRK even in a haiku didn't you !
As Rickie says, sees a few shows on Broadway. And Please please please see Lion King the Musical. You would love it !
akankshaadureja
Thanks Ruchira. You inspired me to write them down! London is lovely in a way that I really feel that there is a piece of India within London. May it be Southall or all SRK movies, there is India in London 🙂 I am really looking forward to Broadway, hopefully would get a chance soon!
Alka
Good to know that you are having fun. Enjoy and come back soon.
akankshaadureja
🙂 Thanks Alka! It is nice but I miss India too.
