Recuerda Mi Corazon haiku my heart - Sieved

1900

Morning sky greets me, after months of parched dry earth with brown to golden leaves, taken to flight at the slightest breeze. Then came the tumbling rains, almost a day’s hours of its splashes and drips. One banana plant fell to the ground and one plumeria leans, seemingly bowing to the Rain deities

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]
