 The mist on the ground:
The veil on her face,
Hides many a mystery.

Thank you for your comments. I have been writing poetry for a longtime now and I have found the Haiku form very challenging. I have tried to enhance the effect by adding visuals.

That is a really wonderful Haiku - and the picture you have posted looks like the one of the 'Veiled Rebecca' in the Salarjung Museum in Hyderabad. lovely lines and structure - the mist is a great thought - is she walking on the ground or floating along! Good Show Subbu!
