Flower Haiku

The Queen of May

The Queen of May comes

Crowned by flowers, dressed in leaves,

With Underworld roots.

Crocus

Snow-sky brings the winds,

Winter wants to rage and storm--

Spring lifts up her head.

Daffodil Jazz

Golden trumpets play

To announce the start of spring,

Riffing on sun notes.

Violet

Mystic purple dream,

Melting flavor, misting scent--

Blooms open the mind.

Dandelion

Flower-weed gold-burst,

Laughs on lawns, can tell the time,

Mellows into wine.

St. John’s Wort

Five petals appear

To defy the gathered fog.

They light the way back.

Guardian Rose

A rose guards the town,

Blooming people’s history.

Petals fall, roots stay.

Iris

The messenger girl

With rainbow gowns, green stockings,

Brings hope from heaven.

Daisy

White star, golden heart,

Watches by day, dreams by night,

To heal our wounds.

Dahlia
