recalling summers (tan renga)

Tournesol dans un jardin 1 Minute

temple in the sky
the road opens
a slice of blue sea      (Ubugu)

heat dances above the horizon
childhood memories come to mind (Chèvrefeuille)

What a beautiful hokku!  Chèvrefeuille’s completion brings to mind fond memories of long ago. As a child she recalls lying on her back under the maple tree.

temple in the sky
the road opens
a slice of blue sea      (Ubugu)

under the maple tree
winged shells tickle her face  (Tournesol)

laying on her back
freshness on the cool grass
her summer bed

soft swirls on blue canvas
The Artist’s brush strokes

hum of the rowboat
midday reveries
gentle lullaby

sudden wakefulness
helicopter seeds

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
