Chevrefeuille is hosting Heeding Haiku today and says:
This week I have a nice theme for you to create your haiku or haibun with … Morning Glory …
Create your haiku or haibun following the classical rules (5-7-5 syllables; seasonword; cutting word; deeper meaning; interchangeable 1st and 3rd line; a moment as short as the sound of a pebble thrown into water). Your haibun may have a maximum of 150 words
i.
Summer morning’s stars
glory a wet stage of green –
butterflies drink.
ii.
Summer moon now rests;
sun’s morning glories awake –
kingfisher giggles.
iii.
Cold summer rain pelts
their tightly furled blossoms,
our garden stroll will wait.
iv.
Summer’s living twine
holds a rainbow of deep bells –
hummingbird’s delight.
v.
Summer morning
blossom feeds nature’s nation
emptied husk by night.
Such a lovely variety of verse and a music video!
May we always find enough delight in nature to ‘giggle’ at all of nature’s ‘bells’ and whistles 🙂

🙂 thank you very much, Jules! last night I went looking for a definition of “cutting words” and it helped. the closest i came to the insane sound of a kingfisher was a giggle 🙂
