deep
in the blossoming
one honeybee

Smitten by haiku in 2006 at a Yuki Teikei Haiku Society Reading in San Jose, CA (where I live), I've been hooked ever since. What attracted me was the unpretentiousness of a form able to convey human thought and feeling so profoundly with simple concrete description. I'm also drawn to the brevity (I have a hard time finishing things). So, I do manage to finish some, submit them, and enjoy seeing them published in journals and books. My latest haiku pleasure: a letter from the mayor of Matsuyama, Japan, informing me of my prize-winning haiku in the foreign language section of the Matsuyama Haiku Post contest.

Lovely!
Beautiful! :-)
Thanks, Jennifer!
Mimi,
I saw this for the first time yesterday and now your haiku today.
It is perfect and captures the awe I felt seeing that one honeybee, “deep in the blossoming”
Thanks so much.
Both the photo — sharp in one part, blurring in another, indicating depth — and the haiku — so simple, so true — are wonderful! Thank you!
This is SO delightful Mimi…and I love the fact that the honeybee is not shown…it’s “in there deep”!
Beautiful!
Beautiful.
What a jolt of joy!!!
