Category: Haiku a Day

Mineral-rich mud  Clusters blue butterfly wings  Flitting together

Using muck for growthLotus blossoms gayly floatAbove any gloom

Watery canvas  Reveals clouds and mountain cirque  Reflections of sky

Outside my window  Flycatcher’s “peep, peep”  Welcomes in the day

Absorbing sunbeams  And nourishment from the soil  Golden peas abound

Essential water  Holds balance of life and death  Keeping it in flow

Sparkling fluff blossoms  Could be anything at all  Out of this world

Cut back – left for dead  Stump sprouts in all directions  Life unstoppable

No gardener here Where wild iris spread freely In marsh meadowland
