Breezin’ Through Summer: Takin’ a Walk & Writin’ Haikus

Here are a few flower pics from North Carolina. I took them last week while walking through the Vintage Grove community outside of RTP. Aren’t they lovely? They were so beautiful that I just had to write a few haikus to describe them. I hope you like them!

White periwinkles
Dancin’ in the summer breeze
Pop go their petals

Late summer bloomers
Swayin’ in the summer breeze
Black-eyed susans wink

Summer friendship buds
Two pink trumpets playin’ songs
As petunias kiss

White bell-shaped flowers
Chime in time to August sun
Ringin’ into Fall

Garden rose bloomin’
vibrant coral-colored cloth
cozy in green leaves

Pink Rose of Sharon
Blinks its wine-centered flower
Drinkin’ through summer

Writing poetry from images is a brilliant technique Elizabeth Robin introduced to me. I met her a couple of years ago at the Heritage Library Foundation’s Historic Holidays tea at USC Hilton Head. She taught me how to create poetry from everyday images, like postcards and photographs.

If you want to dive into more of my verses, head over to the “Poetry” tab on my main page: Poetry – I and Thou Reflections. If you want to check out Elizabeth’s poetry, go to her “Published Poems” tab at elizabethrobin.com.
