Mother’s Day
Potted Plant Society
Sharing the Joy and Knowledge of Growing Potted Plants Creatively
Here is my simple offering for Mother’s Day, three Haiku poems.
Haiku poetry has strict construction rules. Each poem has only three lines, 17 syllables: five
syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third. Haiku is used to communicate a
timeless message often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity
the essence of Zen.
(Do you think that my Haiku are… “sublime”?)
My Mum is yummy. A bond eternal. Our genes are common.
I’ll always be there for her. Motherhood changes your life. Mother love should be for all—
Here’s a big hug! You’re one with the Earth. With shared genes or not.
*** Happy Mother’s Day ***

Many thanks for your “magic”, SoundEagle. In any case I’m also pleased to see that lines of the same length are almost interchangeable, like Lego blocks. 🙂
(Perhaps in the last Haiku, I might suggest that “for all ” could be in the next line, so that the em dash immediately follows the phrase). Thanks again!

” Writing a poem
With seventeen syllables
Is very diffi….. ” XD

SoundEagle hopes that those are potted plants that grow, not cut flowers that wilt. 🙂
