Morning folks,
whilst I usually like to utilise alliteration or assonance in my double-haiku titles, this week’s creations simply wouldn’t go that way, hence the below, slightly idiosyncratic, pairing…
Bristle
Bristled, finger-brushed,
Wind-shifted and sun-beaten.
Pale green to yellow.

Mulch
Plant pot remains, damp
Cuttings and dinner leavings.
From messy to mulched.
