Haiku in Bloom

Haiku Series (Exotic Bloom) Pamela Staker

April’s patch of haiku are a bit thin due to National Poetry Writing Month. But, I’ve plucked a few of my favorites to share here. Let me know if one pleases you.

Death, when you arrive,
consider me reclaimed dust,

Despite the windthrow,
river remains. Teaching us
loss can become gain. #haiku #haikuchallenge pic.twitter.com/xuy4ijp27j

Immortelle blossom;
a final place of peace
requires nothing.

Pink Dogwood opens
despite cold snap dragon jaws;
each bloom is a win.

These two were such lovely snapshots! Beautifully written, K! ❤

  Thank you, Tom. I hadn’t realized how many of this month’s haiku had been bloom inspired. 🌸

I’ve read these poems twice now; fairy tale boy appeals to me most perhaps because of the wondrous tales that can spin from it

  Yes, my son’s springtime adventures inspired that one. He always brings me new treasures ( usually river rocks). His joy is contagious.

    🙂 that’s the beauty of joy: it is contagious : childhood is wonderfully inspirational for poets; I wrote most of my published poems for children when my grandkids lived with us 🙂
