strawberry picking (haibun)

CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, Haibun, Haiku 1 Minute

Near their campground was a huge strawberry field and every July the children would pile into the family car in the morning before the hot midsummer sun.  Straw hats and lots of sunscreen,  the children ran off to do their own thing with a feeling of self-importance and holding their own plastic buckets.

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

    1. For some reason you sometimes get into my spam folder (sigh)…yes kids learn much later how to pace themselves…some never learn (says the person munching on too many snacks a day) 😉
