That is the power of a smile that radiates beyond the mile.

Oh, how lovely. This itself is a haiku. You must be quite familiar with the form!! Very nice indeed.

Normally, it consists of three lines, the first consisting of 5 syllables, the second of 7 and the third of 5 syllables again. Like many others, I took liberties here and did not stick to the metric pattern, but the three line structure remains.]

Dear ojaantrik,

Your kaiku is nice. Smile on a lady's face has been compared to light from thousand watts bulb by poets. But, since there is power cut you have aptly used candle light. I remember a Tamil song from the movie 'Azhaki'.
'Oliyile therivathu deavathaiya?' (In the light do I see an angel?).

Love,

Geetha Iyer

Thanks a lot. That was a most sensitive observation.

Yes Brindha:

It's my composition. The digital drawing I used was my artist friend Rambabu Arle's work. I wonder why you couldn't see it. In any case, here is the link for the picture: http://klooless.110mb.com/gallery/resized_candle.jpg

All the best.
