  1. Wonderful, Alan!

    I love when words sound like what they mean. A favorite is "poignant."

    mid-August
    hearing fewer birds
    in the morning choir

    loved for years
    and now I know your name
    blue chicory

    1. Dawn, thank you! Spot on, it's a Summer activity, and thankfully I do have a lot of wildlife where I am.

    1. Thank you Marion, yes, a wonderful birthday on the 16th, reading from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice again in front of an audience, and then a special meal with a bottle of claret at home with Karen, with no distractions.

      Thank goodness for birds, I don't know if I could bear a life without birds and birdsong.

      warmest regards,

      Alan

  2. Love it. This haiku lifts my spirits — you have conveyed not only the sounds, but also the golden and chocolate brown colors of the sunflower. A lovely vignette of late summer.

    1. Thanks Annette, for your wonderful comments. A haiku, from the author's perspective, only comes alive when it's both appreciated, and commented on, many thanks. :-)
