the mesquite tree corpse crowned by fresh green leaves, endless reaching summer days Marc Edwards (Originally published on September 23, 2023 as the tailwind of #summer could be felt throughout the Sonoran Desert.) poemsandhaiku.blogspot.com/2023/09/mesqui… #haiku

I love this poem by ⁦@adalimon⁩ for Mother’s Day, so I will post it again this year. So Happy Mother’s Days to all the moms out there, especially those who unselfishly lifted the rest of the world up on the backs.

to be alive at this moment is a miracle

may those who brought flowers be blessed with moonlight Kikaku

washing my laundry while wearing my clothes under the summer rain Issa

a waterfall of yellow rose petals distant thunder Basho

clapping my hands I summon the dawn summer moon Basho

flowers turning where the sun should be summer rain Basho

like an ancient oak I never change summer hail Basho

summer clouds resting easy on a mountain peak Basho

a noble oak tree among the cherry blossoms Basho

the sound of reeds echoes the autumn breeze, as if whispered from a distant soul Basho

full moon strolling by the pond throughout the night Basho

bamboo already bent waiting for the snowfall Basho

surrounded by flowers every day for nearly three weeks Basho
