pollen falls like stars
far across the flower fields
on fridays we gather,
like a wild collection of rogue flowers
sweetening the landscape of each others lives.
always willing to strip off the superfluous,
embrace the barest essence of expression,
visit each other with a
passion
and lie in wait for the next friday
to bloom all over again.

In the windy season
of May, pollen falls, lifts, soars.
Poppies propogate.

Ah, nothing like the California poppy to be knee deep in holy. Have you ever visited the poppy preserve in Lancaster, CA in the spring? It is amazing! I can't believe I'm not last in sharing this time but as I went to put the computer to bed, I checked your site and voila! You had the haiku invite up early. Have a beautiful weekend.

We are suddenly plunged back into cold...tender young things I planted, perhaps too early.
Your heron visitation still takes my breath away.

California Poppies are synonomous with spring...and holy for sure! Beautiful!

"Knee deep in holy" is wow! Orange is my favourite colour and since I'm from California, the poppy is one of my favourites.

Beautiful photo of our western poppies!
Your poem puts a lovely light on pollen which at times completely covers everything in a coat of lime green sneezy dust :o)
Have a wonderful weekend.
Always, Queenie
