may gardening
starlings circle a blackbird
with a worm
may gardens
silver birch weeps the lake
lilies catch her tears
(Altamont)
may breeze
foxgloves freckled lips quiver
whistling a tune
herb garden
parsley passing thyme
In the sunshine
may noon
choir of campanula bells
buzz with bees
may gardening
starlings circle a blackbird
with a worm
may breeze
purple lupins point
dancing towards the sea
cloudless day
love in a mist
mirrors the sky
trees swish and sway
each leaf a different sound
breezy symphony
may afternoon
bees gather nectar
in honey sunshine
gardening break
in my mug of tea
the sun
grass cuttings
a swarm of bees nesting
in the compost bin
may sunshine
foxgloves freckled lips quiver
whistling the breeze
garden weeding
the scent of fennel still
on my hands
hedge clippings
in the wheelbarrow
autumn mixed with spring
A feast here, Maire with every one of them a mini picture of that lovely garden.

ReplyDeleteI'm getting more and more confused the more Haiku I read...I thought initially it was written in 5-7-5 form?!!!
ReplyDeleteRach
I mean initially I thought it was not initially Haiku was lol!
ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteI put a workshop on haiku on our new site today. Have a look at it. The traditional haiku is 5, 7, 5 but non traditional haiku which is less than 17 syllables is the modern day haiku in the English language anyway. Less is more is the norm now. As long as you stay within 17 syllables with three lines, two linking, one setting the scene with the seasonal word, you are fine. Maire
You are a gem, Maire...
