Haikus for Nature VIII
August 2025
Following are the haikus I have written in August as part of my ‘What’s Your 60?’ challenge. I have committed to complete the following challenges in 2025 to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Alberta Wilderness Association (AWA):
Write 60 nature-based haikus
Submit 60 new observations to iNaturalist
Walk Outdoors 60 km/month
If you wish to sponsor my efforts you can make a tax-deductible donation to Alberta Wilderness Association.
Sleepy bee
Clinging to flowers
Slumbering in pollen bliss
On a nectar high
Moody Skies
Crow high in a tree
Slate blue clouds mask the sunshine
Caws reflect my mood
Ancient Life
Your beautiful shape
Reminds us our looming death
Yet brings us much joy
August Blooms
Nature hastens blooms
With fifty shades of purple
Summer finale
Deep Dive🐝
Get in there!
Completely covered
Pollen buzz
