Summary
The website content is a poetic reflection on the changing seasons, personifying nature's elements and cycles, and questioning human control over natural forces.
Abstract
The "Haiku Series" on the website captures the essence of seasonal changes through a series of haiku poems. The imagery evokes the rhythm of nature as coconut palms sway to the playful wind, signifying the dance of the seasons governed by wind, water, and sunshine. The ancient cycles are depicted as unchanging and reliable, with the canopy of clouds promising drought relief, just as it has always been. The poems also touch upon the humility of humanity in the face of nature's grandeur, as the earth rejoices in the nourishment of rain, and humans are reminded of their limited control over the forces of nature. The haikus provoke thought on whether humanity will ever truly understand and respect these natural dynamics. The work is a response to Warren Brown's January Prompt on 'Inner or Outer Changes' and is copyrighted to Suma Narayan in 2021.
