big bold sunflowers
ambitiously cheerful blooms
dulls chill of winter
fuels my dreams of summer
even the buzz of their bees

rainbow of colors
scattered autumnĀ leaves wind swept –
lingering seagull
the crane has come home
cherry blossom in full bloom
second chance at love
sunflower stands tall
blue sky on memorable
summer day, no clouds
butterfly on bush
alone, gorging on nectar
wings color of beer

Carpe Diem Full Circle #1, Sunflower Reflection
Twelve (12) words (for every ”hour”) one word. The goal is to write haiku using the words as given in the clock wise way.
Here are the 12 (twelve) words :
SUNFLOWER REFLECTION
big bold sunflower
bowing after the rain storm
reflects in puddles
morning stroll on beach
skirting around breaking waves
holding hands – making love
seagulls squawk and dive
feast on rain storm’s new bounty
moves at lightning speed
in mountain garden
peony is in full bloom
nightingale’s solo
