[my mother in her younger phase]

Happy Birthday to my mother [Mrs Mary Mitchell] who is 86 today; i remember as a child growing up that her favourite flower was Carnation. I don't think it is her favourite flower now though. [note to self. i must ask her]

sunrise established
a sliver of moon still wanting
to compete

sunrise secure
a sliver of moon still wanting
to compete

sunrise secure
a sliver of moon still waiting
to compete

sunrise secure
a sliver of moon waiting
to compete

sunrise secure
a sliver of moon lurking
In competition

And here's today's haiku; what do you think

three mountain peaks -
after three days grace
quell mutiny's heart

sky and bird songs -
incredible harmony
greet thee morning

dew wetness -
a new wildflower greets
the morning

three mountains peak -
after three days grace
mutiny's heart quelled
