Buttercup and Broil | Haiku

Poetry 1 Minute

Big skies and crowded lawns today, with a couple of haiku…

Buttercup

Buttercup

Sun-waxed buttercup,

Deep amidst the heaving grass.

Summer peering through.

Cirrus clouds against a blue sky

Broil

Cumulonimbus

Banked broad, far-flung cirrus. A

Broiling troposphere.
