Haiku : Age.






   You are as old 
    as you think
Age is just a number.

 Age is just a number
a boy and his granny
  play hide 'n' seek.

 Play hide 'n' seek
black heavy clouds
behind mountains.

 --------------------------

Love is eternal
Taj Mahal stands
the test of time.

 --------------------------

 Salt 'n' pepper crown
She dyes her hair
hides her age.

    Wow! That was indeed a wonderful set of haiku! The last stanza made me smile! "Salt "n" pepper crown." That was just too good!

    Granny playing hide 'n seek really takes a toll on her I'm sure!! :) Age I think is read on the face and skin and no amount of dying can hide that!! Just salt 'n pepper is great!!

      Nanka, premature greying is so common. Ladies as young as 30 are using hair-dye. Thanks for visiting my post.

    My favorite is the 3rd. The black heavy clouds behind the mountains. Beautiful!

      Yes the black heavy clouds cannot hold the rain for long and its a matter of time that they have to become lighter.

    I like the lines where you mentioned 'play hide 'n' seek. It doesn't matter the age. :)

      The granny is very agile and healthy to play with her grandchild.

      Once a person dyes the hair it is an on-going process.

      Age is a dangerous number but it depends upon one's point of view.
