on tender branches
buds, tiny teardrops of blood
ripe with latent fronds
This haiku was inspired by a budding tree I encountered on a walk in the park.
Special thanks to Michael Richards at A Center Line for encouraging me to push beyond my boundaries and use my own artwork to illustrate my posts. Enjoy his graphic art and his prose.
