Today's the Day...for poetry. Fly on over to Robin's Place for all the Haikooers.
Haiku = Japanese Poetry = Imagery in Words
Three Lines...seventeen syllables...5...7...5
Yum Yum ! Sweet nectar.
Do you see me hiding there ?
Savor the sweetness.
Today a blossom.
The bursting bud will explode.
What fruit will I be ?
Suspended in air.
Learn to enjoy the moment.
Inhale - Exhale - Breathe !
Old Glory waves "high"
On a Colorado sky
Springtime means new hope.

Necatrine? Peach?
I took a picture just like this two days ago of the nectarine blooming beside my neighbors green house.. mentioned in my haiku
These are absolutely breathtaking.

Swampy, well done my friend. Your photographs are beautiful--crisp and clean. They tell a story together with your words. Kinda silly, but I love the word "savor"--it's conjures a sense of lingering enjoyment and it's perfect here. You also had me looking for bees that weren't there (ha!).
Thanks for playing along; you make everything you're a part of more delightful!
:)
