Haiku: All that is morning

Nature’s early rise

Unfurl unwind opening

waiting for the sun

Morning glory ready to unfurl.
Morning glory ready to unfurl

Haiku: Devoted father

Male bares unborn young

Mates for life entrusted care

Female gives her eggs

Haiku: Pineapple and sweet potato?

A soft sturdy green vine

Deceiving plant names

A sage of a different name

Pineapple sage
Easy to grow…then use a fresh sprig of this fruit-scented pineapple sage to garnish your frosty piña colada or glass of iced tea.

Don’t eat the sweet potato vine!  Just enjoy its simple light green beauty.

Haiku: The weed

a weed ready to release its seeds in the wind
a weed ready to release its seeds in the wind

emerges strongly

uninvited takes its space

sets the sturdy roots
