Strange to see this snake
Atop this blackberry bush
Embracing the sun
I’ve never seen a garter snake climb on top of a bush. I wonder of this chap has taken a liking to berries.

I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.

Strange to see this snake
Atop this blackberry bush
Embracing the sun

On this summer’s day
Suns warmth moving gracefully
I remember spring

Upon this mountain
The clouds are protecting us
From brutal sunlight

On this summer’s day
Sunlight flowing down to me
And gluttonous bees

As I’m facing west
Sunlight pushes out the grey
Feeling summer’s power

Rain falls gracefully
Flowers forgot the sunlight
This moment passes

Honey bees feasting
Sunlight flowing from the sky
Such summer delights

such a brilliant day
those I love accomplishing
sunlight reaches me
Today I watched dear friends test for their blackbelts, and followed that up with graduation parties. The beauty of growth delights me deeply.
