Sunday was another restless Spring day, the sky constnatly shifting from grey to blue. Again, I had the pleasure of starting the day by leading a ginko around the City Botanic Gardens. Here’s a selection of the haiku I gathered on my travels:
sleeping ducks
and my tired face
between them
*
still pond
a dragonflies’ silence
and mine
bamboo grove
ants march toward
the sky
*
you and I
fooling in the leaves
bush turkey
half-
unbuttoning her shirt
spring breeze
*
crows
in the peepul tree
sharing our poems

A sensational sequence.
Really lovely, especially the ending. In July/August, I ran every morning at the Botanic Gardens while I was staying in the CBD. So much to take in there, and these vignettes bring it all back.
Enjoyed this sequence of poems…my favorite was #4 fooling.
beautiful…my fav is the one with the sleeping ducks…and i so envy you that it’s spring in your part of the world..
Wonderful series – my favourite is the bamboo grove one
Cool. Love the ‘peepul’ tree and the bush turkeys. Sweet.
These are great. Love the bush turkey surprise.
