Rafta Rafta Haikus

Atul

Frustrated passion
aching sexuality
fulfillment hopeful

Eeshwar

The outside is fake
confided in bottles
bright and sadistic

Lopa

Aching to complain
venomous contemplating
break free to the past

Jai

adolescent love
acknowledgement unlikely
Atul can't fulil her

Vina

hoping to fulfill
feeling so inadequate
i want to except

Laxman

anguish and a wife
entangled with impotence
I long for my girl

Lata

Caught up in the fight
between honour and amity
Family comes before

  1. Some of these are really good, but at least three of them don't have the requisite number of syllables (Eeshwar, Jai and Lata).

    Not sure if you intended to use the word 'except' in Vina, did you? And you've spelt 'fulfil' in two different ways, but they're both wrong.

    I like the change of theme in the middle of Lopa though. And the first two lines of Lata are especially good.

    All in all, then, a bit of a 'curate's egg'. (Have you heard that phrase before?)
