wild raspberries

Jill Lange has had a lifetime love affair with the natural world. She remains grateful for crayons--her first medium for expressing her interest in wild things. She makes time to visit her favorite wild places and continues to share her sense of wonder, more often painting with words.

  1. Very fun, Jill! Yes, I've often been sidetracked with berry picking. This haiku has me looking forward to summer. Thanks!

  2. This one made me smile in a couple different ways. Love the cheekiness of it along with the appreciation of nature.

  3. Welcome Jill and a lovely debut haiku here on Tinywords!

    I really enjoy the sense of breathlessness that comes from the break between the first and second line, especially when reading this verse out loud. It really brought the experience of bushwalking back to me.

    Looking forward to more of your works in future.

    This is a wonderful poem on multiple layers
