Blinded by Greed

I am proud to have one of my haiku selected for this week’s THF Haiku Dialogue! The theme was ‘failure’… and I felt sure the dung beetle, rolling his hoarded treasure toward home and oblivious to the danger, was surely headed for it! Blessings and peace, my friends.

loud mooing…
the dung beetle blunders
into milling hooves

THF Haiku Dialogue ‘Rhyme’

I am so proud to have one of my haiku included in The Haiku Foundations’ Haiku Dialogue selection for the prompt ‘rhyme’. Watching our bird community happily pecking away at wet seeds after a passing thunder storm provided the moment for me.

thunder fades …
wet birds feasting
at the feeders

To be included with the wonderful haiku of excellent international haiku poets is such a great honor! It made my day.
