Heeding Haiku With Chevrefeuille, October 11th, 2017
Haiku or a Haibun for us from one of the classical haiku masters to work with, the haiku-poet for this week is Mizuhara Shuoshi (1892-1981)
A new year begins
With the blooming
Of a single frosty rose
Here is my Haibun – Struggling
The weather pattern is so mixed these days, it’s hard to tell if its summer or winter. Walking around the garden I see it has the same problems, some days so hot the next week it is freezing.
The sun warms my soul, the nights are chilled, I warm up in my bed but the garden just sits and freeze and growth continues slowly.
bloom lost in season
struggling for survival
against the cold odds
Our weather seems similar. I’m still hoping for a few more tomatoes to ripen. 🙂

That would be nice to have some nice fresh late-season tomatoes.
Have a great day.

Nice post. The seasons are certainly less defined these days. The garden and I are confused!

Good one! The bloom can wither away if the temperature increases. The frost lengthens the life span.
