Fickle forsythia .... I love it! Yes it does seem as though plants lose their direction in the early days of Spring. But, as Jacob says, with the coming of summer they glow in their true glory! Our garden is just waking up, and it is wonderful to see. Your Haiku is very good, especially as it has universal undertones, and can be applied to many other things.

Lovely to see you here Great Aunt Astri. Many thanks for your thoughtful response. All good wishes.

Hello Chris!
Your choice of words is so beautiful and enthrals a word-lover! Stunning images of the flower going wayward in the April breeze. Your words have a deeper undertone for me though. I just loved this senryu 💕

[Chris Shaw]

Dear DIVYA, so pleased you picked up on the undertone. It was the undertone that inspired the write. Many thank yous. It is so good to see your lovely face gracing the forum again, fav poetess.

Of course Chris! I could clearly picture a lady facing the challenges brought by those winds of change. Thank you, my dear friend, I so appreciate the warm welcome 💕

Many thanks Jacob. Yes, the cool wind will cease and forsythia will focus on stretching towards the sun.

loads of people on this site think they can write haiku... but they really have no idea how difficult it is to get them right, others praise them because they have no idea either .
So see a perfectly written one like this is a real treat :)

[Chris Shaw]

It took a while. In fact I was thinking about it yesterday, but got it on to paper today. Thanks Stella.

[Stella Armour]

my pleasure.... it is beautiful :)

Got that hummm factor ... really great structure in what I feel is a brilliant format. The forsythia is also known as the 'Easter tree' - so - very seasonal to boot - >;)

[Chris Shaw]

Many thanks Phill for your response. I appreciate your thoughts.
