on lightning you came;
I beg, another to strike
this high tower down

of summer moon at sunset

on the mandarin duck’s wings
a dust of snow —
such stillness!
— Masaoka Shiki
motherwort wilting
wearied by warmth, wishes for
water, waits for rain

kookaburra bird
poised, perching on a gum branch
koala clings too
purple Prunus toot:
the drupes droop from woody shoots
most succulent loot
a crisis of climes
ne'ermore a balmy summer
parched for gin and lime
strawberry harvest
promising to be profuse
eaten by mice
#dailyhaikuprompt - profuse

oops! looks as though you
paid your soul to gen AI
profuse, my pities

stone fruit: avoidant
flesh marooned, kept at arm's length
these cherries spurn love

hydrangeas
pale blue in the rain
blue in the moonlight

I wrote about peas
yesterday so here I am
at a loss for words
grasping the trellis
pea stops blooming in this heat
lone pod harvested
in the shade of time
she changes with every sun
embracing the new!

the crone takes her rest
new moon, we begin again
verre vide à remplir
hidden in sun's glare
new moon's dark face unchanged
yet ever present
#DailyHaikuPrompt - garden
Grow chives alongside
Flowers and veg, deter slugs
Or try lemon balm

No guarantees, no money back
a deep vale of tears
watching the world fall apart
as I pray for peace

The sun permeates the firmament
Of the mountain province.

#DailyHaikuPrompt - fresh peas
A common request
At the international
Pea shooting contest
This may have been influenced by me watching the tennis #newBallsPlease
In the hammock
Eyes closed, birdsong, leaves rustling -
the tree's wind chimes
