The three women walked along the riverside reminiscing of times passed. Approaching an old vegetable garden two of them, scrunched up their noses at the putrid scent. The eldest seemed not to notice the stench and paused looking at a crow cawing on a branch.
graced by a presence drawn by sweet fragrance trust and compassion
graced by a presence divine intervention a mother’s love
drawn by sweet fragrance budding promise faith, hope and love
trust and compassion if only the world knew their blessed bouquet
Walking towards her children, one woman contemplated for a long moment. Inhaling a deep belly breath, she paused and felt a spasm in her chest as if her heart was bursting at the seams.
pink and white buds
begging share to their love
apple blossoms
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.

Your photos and poems are beautiful. I’m glad that spring is finally coming for you. When I was in the Greenbelt today there were two very large blue birds flying around. Their color was so vibrant.
