MEASURE









Distance in km on map                    
between you and me
 only a letter.


In the good old days, telephones and internet were absent.. the distance between two lovers would be bridged by a letter.(means of communication) even when they are living miles apart from each other.


no hourglass                                                
time of day
measured by sun's shadow.


In rural areas farmers working in the fields could tell the time of the day by the shadow  cast by the sun rays.



Mercury in tube                                                                                                                           
warmth of body
shows temperature.

    Very true Kalpana, distance in love is a very strange measure, sometimes seconds feel like endless hours and at time, weeks seem like minutes. Love the was=y you bring out different aspects of the prompt.

      Distances can be accurately measured but love cannot be measurd and the waiting is endless. Thank you Reshma.

    The first one is strong haiku. No explanation needed. It's perfect.

    It's amazing how our form of communication has changed. Yet, it is the love and care in the message that is constant. Beautiful haiku!

      Our forms of communication have changed to a great extent but waiting to hear from a loved one hasn't changed. Thank you The Write Girl.
