A poem inspired by the Japanese form of Haibun Poetry, combining prose and Haiku.
Moss covers the old shed
beside the laden cherry tree
In the neighbour’s yard
Grey squirrel climbs tree
Branches sway under the sky
Shiny cherries hang
Pink peonies fill
A tall vase
Below the stairs
By the light switch
Near the door
Landlords cabin bound
Flowers a gift of kindness
From their own garden
Rooftops of Mount Pleasant homes
Clouds and trees are views from the patio
Tortillas and guacamole
Nourish stomachs at lunch
Wind makes the trees dance
Orange slices refreshing
Senses come alive
Stories of Resilience
