May gardening haiku



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
