Backyard Haiku Week 12

A garden of flags

Greets me at the old courthouse.

Jury duty calls.

###

My haiku output

Slows down to a small trickle

When the garden calls.

###














This is the hard part -

Knowing the rain is needed,

But longing for sun.

###

Spring’s successive pinks -

Magnolia, cherry, and

redbud take their turn.

###

Virginia bluebells,

those lovely ladies, emerge

just to make me smile.

###

Happy to enjoy

The dandelions even

As I dig them out

###

Moving plants before

They bloom is much like painting

Landscapes in the dark
