Not for me a lawn
shorn and manicured to clean
green sterility
……….
My lawn is a wild
meadow where grasses of all
kinds grow and prosper
……….
(Oh no, these are not caterpillars!)
……….
In my lawn, cheerful
golden dandelions dance
in the summer breeze
The fluffy ones are
ready to fly to the end
of the horizon
………
Somewhere there in the
clover patch there’s a four-leaf
Haven’t found it yet!
But I found a bug
sitting pretty, sitting still
meditating… Wow!
So, learn a lesson
form the modest bug, sit still
and meditate now!
Smile and be grateful
for the splendour around you
Have a lovely day!
………..

My pleasure, sweet lady. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. 🙂
You have put wonderful creative endeavour into both haiku and photo essay. It is often the simple grasses of the fields, the daisies and the dandelions that bring inspiration. Lovely Iriina.
Benita, I’m so glad you liked my creation. I like my wild lawn because it reminds me of the meadows in my home country. I used to find a four-leaf clover quite often. Thanks so much for commenting.
Wonderful photos and writing, Irina!
Thank you so much, Aaron, for stopping by. I do appreciate your encouraging comment.
This is lovely and warm–makes me long for spring! I especially loved the haiku about the fluffy ones! Brilliantly penned, Irina 🙂
Thanks, Caroline. I’m so glad you like it. The fluffy ones look so beautiful. 🙂

Hi Irina…
Well I guess we are having a renga here (I mean more than one haiku, right?. Check out this link http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/5788 )
I totally enjoyed the post…
I love the way you have highlighted all those the natural pressences. Your lawn is a great poetic source my dear!…
“Somewhere there in the/ clover patch there’s a four-leaf/ Haven’t found it yet!…
I am sure you will find it !!!
All the best for you… See you at twitter, Aquileana 🙂
Hi Aquileana,
Guess what…I’ve never heard of renga before, so I’ve looked up the link and yes, you’re right, it’s a kind of renga. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. And thank you again for being a mentor.
I’ll keep looking for the four-leaf clover.
Hugs xxx Irina 🙂
Talking about Twitter … Aquileana 😉
Aww thanks so much, Aquileana. Now, if I examine this photo carefully, I might find the four-leaf clover. 🙂
Yes I am sure you will find it… (I am now staring at the photo too)…
Hugs to you & I am wishing you a great week ahead;
Aquileana 🙂
Quite a poetic feat! Delightful!
Thank you so much for appreciating my work, Jane. Cheers 🙂 Irina
