Maple seeds (haibun)

Haibun, Haiku, Photography 1 Minute

bananas

As a child she used to climb the maple tree at her Grandmaman’s and take the maple seeds and see them float in the air like a helicopter. But sometimes she would just lie on her back on the grass by the river, looking up and pretend they were miniature bananas!

river breeze
bananas sway gently
takes me far away

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. Hey! I was little then (chuckles) and I had a wild imagination. I took a bunch of photos of those bananas today on my way to work. I think I’ll write a poem about them

    1. Oh, Lynn, I am so pleased to hear this since I have not met anyone who has yet…I am sorry for your loss, however. Remembering old stories like that are nice visits though, aren’t they?
