like rainfall
different shapes and colours
carpeting the earth

web of love

even
intricate details
need mending

(c)Tournesol,16

mindless love
may set you free,
just a leap of faith
from time to time
a frog turns into a prince

Haiku Horizons: mend, frog

humility troiku

stately sunflowers
standing tall and vain,
bend with the wind

stately sunflowers
nourish the land – not,
just a pretty face

standing tall and vain
trying with all its might
to reach golden star

bend with the wind
autumn enters with a gasp
a humble gesture

blossoming courtyard (troiku)

[…] “There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.” […] Lord Byron

sun gently peers
yawning gardens stir
from a dim skyline

sun gently peers
announcing
emerging day

yawning gardens stir
waiting with bated breath
burgeoning rosette

from a dim skyline
sunbeams kissing blossoms
wowing the courtyard

courting days (troiku)

hands her a daisy,
blushing, she thanks him,
Oh those courting days!

hands her a daisy,
heart fills with hope
their first kiss…

blushing, she thanks him
roaming the field – leans closer,
her hand feels so soft

Oh those courting days!
arm slides round her tiny waist
head on his shoulder

searching your path(troibun)

When I see the word “climb”the image of Maria (Julie Andrews) comes to mind and I hear the finale of The Sound of Music, “Climb Every Mountain”. In life, we are presented many mounds and foothills to surmount…some seeming too difficult to climb. Some do not always see the different paths to get to the top; others do not realize they don’t have to do it all alone…

********

[…] “Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley. ” […] Theodore Roethke

child looks wide-eyed
yet – time moves at a snail’s pace
eyelids beckon

child looks wide-eyed
mound of sand with tiny holes
tiny critters climb

yet- time moves at a snail’s pace
despite grappling wit
millimetre steps

eyelids weigh
resolutely reach the top
misses finale

Haiku Horizons “climb”
