| In celebration of trees, we bring you the fifth and final haiku with the kind permission of The Peter Pauper Press. The Japanese haiku is a poem seventeen syllables long, usually divided into three lines of five, seven and five syllables each, often infused with mystical zen awareness. Usually, the brief haiku leads the reader to visualise a season through a key word, and to associate other thoughts and imagery from one’s own experience, thereby inviting the reader to become a participant in creating joy from the poem. A cuckoo calls And suddenly….the bamboo grove Lighted by moonbeams Basho (1644-1694), Quoted with permission from Haiku Harvest, Translation by Peter Beilenson and Harry Behn, The Peter Pauper Press Woodblock print by Kasamatsu Shiro, (1954), Japan Art Open Database. www.ukiyo-e.org |

Because the city doesn’t need one-off fixes, it needs long-term healing. Trees remain the simplest, most effective answer. They absorb carbon, trap dust, cool the air, and act as natural lungs. If Delhi wants cleaner winters, it needs more green cover, not just temporary interventions. Clouds may not cooperate, but trees always will.
