Haiku: Full house

They come and they go
Feathered and fluffy babies
Keep them safe mother

Haiku poem by PamelaWLucas 5/1/17

Making a paradise for birds…create it and they will come.

Haiku: Downy Woodpecker

Nesting in dead trees

Acrobatic sassy birds

Drilling for insects

Read up on these delightful birds and be sure to listen to their songs and calls.

Haiku: Luna Lovely

From the trees emerge
Large and lime colored short-lived
Natures giant wonder

Read about the Luna Moth…don’t use pesticides that kill them and plant their favorite trees to attract the lovelies.

Nature carves and lifts
Placing hardness on the earth
lasting Irish rocks

Haiku: spring rain drops

wet drops hanging on
all of nature embraces
sweet moisture brings life

Haiku: Lilac

The lilac cascades

Essence of its colors hang

Bees insert themselves

Lovely lilacs
“Sensation Lilac”

In the olive family, the Lilacs have over 1,000 total varieties.

Fragrant viola
