Dread:Haiku.

Goes into labour
3 dread-ful words.
It's  baby girl.

 It's baby girl
angelic face
Will she survive?

 Will she survive?
dread city outlaws
predators lurking

 Predators lurking
tearing her dignity.
Iss desh mein na aana laadoo.

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


Sanjay Gandhi National Park
Leopard sighted
Rangers snare it

 Rangers snare it
Why do humans
encroach our forest?

 For : Haiku Heights

    Beautifully expressed. It is unfortunate that girls become victims of the lust of dreadful 'Romeo's'.
