HuMp DaY Haiku - Winters Gentle Touch

Frosty morning. White

coats the bee balm seed heads.

Winters gentle touch.

A year or so ago, I started doing Hump Day Haiku with Carla Sonheim's Silly classes and decided as a challenge for myself, I'd continue. 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. 

Would you like to share a haiku you have written? 

You may include a haiku in the comments, OR you may copy your blog post url (featuring a haiku) and add a link to your blog using Mr. Linky. And consider visiting other contributors blogs to see what they've created and say hello.

on this little tree. 

This little shore pine is in our tree nursery, wintering over as it grows a bit before being planted in our "wild" area sometime next year. A bit of holiday decorating was done compliments of Jack Frost. :)

Happy Thanksgiving to my USA friends!  


I'm so grateful for all my family, friend and teachers
who have challenged me to stretch my wings
and look for the unexpected in the everyday.

I started doing Hump Day Haiku with Carla Sonheim's Silly classes... and decided as a challenge for myself, I'd continue. And so I have. 

Would you care to join me?

  Happy Ruby Tuesday!

Frosty Morning

Jack Frost visited

leaving his icy etchings

throughout the garden

Native bee balm seeds

within their hoary frosting

waiting for the sun.

Slowly the sunshine

peaking through high cloud cover

starts to melt the frost.

A frosty morning in the garden... record lows and hoary frost on everything. 

So of course I ventured forth into the cold to get some photos.
