Haikus

Home, hearth, and fire
Tender, forgiving, and kind
Goddess Hestia

The God of the sea
Trident, earthquakes, and horses
The Lord Poseidon

God of the Heavens
The powerful lightning bolt
The great leader Zeus

Goddess of great love
Beautiful and admired
Oh! Aphrodite

Goddess of the Hunt
The moon, stags, and Huntresses
Goddess Artemis

Goddess of wisdom
Grey eyes, olive trees, and owls
Goddess Athena

Waves splash, dolphins leap
A cool breeze over the sea
A magical world

The moon shines above
Silver, bright, and with the stars
Girl of the night sky

Strong rain, rushing winds
Thunder rumbles, lightning strikes
Magnificent storms…

The moment

It was the moment; the moment that would go down in history, the moment that ended the 28 – year wait. It was the moment filled with grins and hugs and tears. It was the moment that was greeted with praises and compliments and congratulations; marked by the parties, the fireworks, and the champagne. A moment when the hopes and dreams were proved true, and everyone’s hearts were overflowing with happiness. A moment of childish joy and celebration, of dancing, and leaping, of nothing but pure triumph. It was the moment of victory. It was the moment that India seized the Cup.
