Haiku No 25

Rainy, windy, cool weather has been the norm this week and I can't say I am sorry for that.
The garden is loving it and I am enjoying the cool temperatures. I really should live in cooler place year round.
My homemade pond filter is up and running though not finished at all. I have to replace the large tub which holds my filter materials and set it in the ground and disguise it, but the water is clearing up from the green that it was and will soon be clear.
The fish are enjoying eating the algae in the meantime.
The big wisteria is hanging over the pond shading it and keeping the osprey , hawks and owls at bay for now. Perhaps I will post photos of the pond on Friday.

Haiku is filled with poems that allude to cherry blossom petals that fall onto hard and difficult situations or that represent the fragility of time and life.
Here are a few of them..... 




                   Unconcern

Onto the ashes where my cottage burned, 

the cherry blossoms scatter, unconcerned.

                         Fragile

      How fragile, how ephemeral in flight...this life

for instance, Butterfly, alight!

           And So                                                         

    And so the Spring buds burst, 

and so I gaze,

and so the blossoms fall, 

and so my days......
