Woodland walk in
Spring
Cottonwoods along the
path
Seeking early growth.
Cautious of nettles
amid native bleeding
hearts.
Peeking underneath
the soggy brown leaf layer
will they find the prize?
If you know what this is... you can imagine our delight when we discovered an undisturbed patch and recovered nearly half a gallon. Ah, spring!
I started doing Hump Day Haiku with Carla Sonheim's Silly classes... and decided as a challenge for myself, I'd continue. In this process, I have found that creating a haiku (non rhyming poem with 5 - 7 - 5 syllables per line) feeds my soul.
I especially like creating them to go with my photos and art.

Half a gallon? What a treasure! Hope you enjoyed every last bite.
I don't know what I'm looking for in this photo? A half gallon of what?
Cheryl, you're looking for Morel mushrooms hidden among the leaf litter. :)
Love your Haiku and yes, there may be a treasure under all those leaves. Happy day to you.
Your haiku's are beautiful. And of course the photos too. Love the comment about your favorite hiker!!
