Summer Susans

August eyes are brown
winking in yellow bonnets –
flirtatious Susans.

Flowers greet the rain –
face up appreciation –
nourishment’s glow.

Potted pleasures hail
Autumn’s arrival – gracious
welcoming party.

(Image my own. Haiku borrowed from One Woman’s Quest II)

Brown eyes, unblinking
bat golden lashes skyward –
celestial flirt

Flowers awaken
imagination – magic
paints the garden bed.

Carnations linger
prolong the celebration –
flowers gifting joy.

The softness of petals,
such a glorious curve,
even colourless, floral
fragrance has verve –

For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Flower of any kind.

What if each soul,
in passing,
casts a seed
upon the earth –

and with each Spring,
the seeds burst
with beauty,
as a reminder

of the blessing
that is life.

Subtlety unknown,
Spring’s repertoire bold and bright –
soul responds in kind.
