Haikus for Nature V
May 2025
Following are the haikus I have written in May 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 60 km/month
If you wish to sponsor my efforts you can make a tax-deductible donation to Alberta Wilderness Association.
Goddess in Spring
Light green finery
Naked branches covered well
Tree goddess stands proud
Swimming lessons
An afternoon dip
With parents guarding goslings
Near Bow River shore
Spring Blossoms
Happy white blossoms
Welcoming warm spring sunshine
Inhale their fragrance
Guardian
Who’s that standing there?
A yellow-headed blackbird
Guarding the wetlands
Partage de printemps
Awakened bees drink
Sweet nectar provides for thee
Come, pollinate me
