A delight to the eyes
Bright and bold, soft and fragile
The flowers of summer
Haiku

Cheerful tiny blooms
A scattering of yellow
Birds plant flower seeds
Haiku
Not sure how these pretty little yellow blooms came to be here in my garden, as I didn’t plant them, perhaps the birds carried some seeds and dropped them here. I am not sure if they are weeds or flowers, but I am enjoying the sight of them as they add a bit of color to my otherwise non blooming garden area right now.

Pale Pink ruffles
Enhance the crown of white
Peace rose in bloom
Haiku

Filing memories
Into the memory bank
June slowly fades
Haiku

At the close of day
In soft evening sunlight
Garden’s rosy glow
Haiku

Pink and white blooms
Nestled among cotton showers
Peonies and poplars
Haiku

Carried by the wind
A seed blown with wishful breath
Gold crown manifests
