fragrance - haiku

 

Tisn’t only I

who inhale lilacs fragrance,

Swallowtail sips scent

For my gardener...

My life draws to an end
petals and scent once cherished
by my gardener have faded.

Soon my spine will be severed

and my fading life energy

will spiral downward

into my core, for wintering.

Next spring I will reappear

renewed and will bloom again

for my gardener...

Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal

 

It is written when a Cardinal visits you

someone is thinking of you with love and good fortune.

I am blessed having not one but two Cardinals

appear in my garden, Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal.

Long ago neighbours now returning to the hood.

They visit at sunrise, feed and fly off.

Sunset they appear for their final dining of the day.

He takes delight feeding his Mrs. with sunflower seeds.

Ahh, to be in love...
