(Wild)flowers



cool blue cornflowers
offset the harvest white wheat –
red-hot poppies nod



dirt and daisies –
delicate blend
of night and day

Hanulf, I like your poems very much. Your blog is so interesting. How did you end up in Tulsa? My family lives near there.

Sandy - thank you! I moved to Tulsa for college about a decade ago... married an Arkansas boy (go hogs!?) and stayed :)

That second haiku is really good. And the colors in that first photo are astounding.

Such eye-popping colors. I love the positioning of the flowers. The poems are both delightful, although I am partial to the first.

Splendid!

Striking photos -- their colors just pop with intensity on my screen. And your haikus so beautifully compliment them. I love the 'cool blue' and 'harvest white' and 'red-hot' in the first one -- very visual. And in the second one I like the contrast of night and day. Both of these are lovely.
