bedecked in royal colors

#29 – 2 more famous haiku poems
from the book “Seeds from a Birch Tree” by Clark Strand:
Swim Beach at low tide
a fragment of blue sea glass
with the rocks & shells
~Susan Rudnick
( I love this one because I scour the beaches for sea glass and blue is very rare- I love how this captures the unsentimentality of haiku)
scattered in the shrubs
unceremoniously –
the poison ivy
-Dennis Davidson
I hope you enjoy these on your Friday, or Saturday or any day really –

#22 ~2 famous haiku poems
A friend of mine has let me borrow a book of haiku that seems wonderful, “Seeds from a Birch Tree” by Clark Strand – I can’t wait to dive into it further. In doing a quick scan I found an old favorite and a new one to love – I thought I would share them and hope you are enjoying a beautiful spring day, if not I hope these will brighten your spirits.
Chrysanthemums bloom
in a gap between the stones
of a stonecutter’s yard
~Matsuo Basho
Beginning of spring-
the perfect simplicity
of a yellow sky
~Issa
I hope you enjoy these two and thank you to my haiku friend for letting me borrow this book 😉
