suckling nectar
lazily
bee on an iris
bee on an iris
quenched – embraces
rainbow of colours
rainbow of colours
giggling children searching
pot of gold

I is for Iris (Blogging from a to z challenge)
devious lures(haibun)
Crossing the bridge, she looks out the window of the bus and sees most of the ice has liquefied…a patch here and there as a reminder winter kept a stronghold on nature. What an imposing fellow Mister Winter can be sometimes!
last of ice patches
smaller boats trawl the waters
fish fear cunning bait

life’s uncertainties (troiku)
the end of winter
that lunar sign
spring festival
the end of winter
promises
prosperous harvests
that lunar sign
without a fear – moonlight dance,
youths bonding
spring festival
yet tragedy hits Kollam,
hear our prayers
My deepest sympathy to the people in Kollam, India.

H is for Haiku (Blogging A to Z Challenge 2016)
helps me breath
savour nature’s moments
writing haiku
childhood dreams (haiga)
by the riverbank (haiga)
by the riverbank
bullfrogs moo
drowning lovers’ moans

spring’s promise (haibun) Carpe Diem + NaPoWriMo Day 9 2016
Ah the freshness of rebirth in Spring weather and she dreams of blossoms in April and Stanley Park in Vancouver.
budding promise
on the Pacific coast
cherry trees sway
Yet east of the country in Québec weather has its highs and lows…white as it may be, fluffy and unique in each detail, these snowflakes but still, SNOW is a four letter word!
green patches waiting
snow delays,
for dandelions

on friendship Haibun – haiga Day 9 NaPoWriMo
She took the day off from work …just because. Relaxing on her comfy couch, reading her book, she looks over at her friend, sitting leisurely on her throne.
savouring
no ordinary moment,
this blissful bond

daisies (Troibun) Day 8 of NaPoWriMo
She loves the daisy, her favourite of all flowers. Each petal represents the multiplicity of her personality…ever changing and growing throughout life.
wild daisies
pure and innocent
free spirited
wild daisies
petals on the surface
loves me – loves me not
pure and innocent
searching for petals beneath
yet, undiscovered
free spirited
with or without you
still stands strong
