nodding sunflowers
hold golden dreams of finches
summers almost gone
the slow turning days of summer
begin their somersault
into fall.
all those touch the sky sunflowers
hang their dazzling heads nearly spent,
waving at heaven.
may we each be a golden finch perched on the
rim of abundance.
come please,

Summer brought rain and cold in the Netherlands and just when I thought Fall was here, the sun came out and burned hot! Strange days. Strange season. I'm happy Haiku my Heart Friday is here in its own, peaceful and wonderful way. Thanks for keeping me sane Rebecca!

I am a sunflower and a finch this morning because of your wonderfully woven words!
Posted by: Magical Mystical Teacher | August 24, 2012 at 05:21 AM
Great words, and sadly, yes, summer's almost gone.
Posted by: Anthony North | August 24, 2012 at 07:29 AM
Love your words and I honestly look forward to the coming of Fall. It's the best time of the year for me. For some reason as the season comes to life, my sense of well being vibrates with the scent in the air. I want to be out there twirling, twirling with head looking up to the sky. Ah, but if my knees would allow that, tee hee.:)) Nice post Rebecca, have a great weekend.

Beautiful photographs and prose! I love sunflowers, and have some in the garden, blooming in stages to keep my garden sunny as the rainy fall season starts. Have a wonderful weekend, Rebecca!

oh...how I LOVE these little birds. Their bobbing among the sunflowers!!!

Somersault, what a great word to use!!!!!!
I like that word!

I'll be back later to post and visit, Rebecca. An estate sale is PV is calling me right now. I am SO aware of waning summer--dualistically sad but looking forward to fall.

Not only do you share the sweet photos of the finches, but you share their innermost thoughts and desires for all animal-kind! Your posts continue to bring delight to each and every Friday...as we begin that slow somersault and embrace the cloud-filled skies!

Such beauty! I love supplying meals for the birds, bees and butterflies, and all the hundreds of little hoverflies too. I don't get finches in my garden but we do have blue tits who I love to see.
Posted by: Sarah | August 24, 2012 at 02:33 PM
The Finches here are so patient and are the only ones that'll almost let me get up close to the feeder without fluttering away. They're my second favorite tweet following the chickadee. ;)

I did not know if I would make it here this Friday... but how could I not? So slowly over the weekend, I will visit these gems and the abundance that flows and somersault into our Friday haiku with your sweet finches fanning the last heat of Summer into Fall... thank you Rebecca, for gathering us all here... XOXOXO

I love these lines. I don't want the summer to end yet.
Thanks for sharing your photos, too. I love finches. :-)
