I haven’t thought about writing Haiku in a long time. I’m so glad you are doing so! It’s a beautiful practice for loving God’s creation and opening our hearts. I just remembered one I wrote in school, when we were taught the form:
The fluttered freshness
With icy teardrops floating
The cloud whispers snow.
In college I remember reading Kobayashi Issa’s heartbreaking little book, The Year of My Life, about his baby daughter. Very affecting. I couldn’t find the book quickly but I did find one of Issa’s immortal poems about this loss:
This dewdrop world —
Is a dewdrop world,
And yet, and yet . .
It conveys so much! So much in a dewdrop truly seen.
I’m delighted to read this series of your haikus, when the mood strikes you! You show such lovely photos of your garden, quite an inspiration!

wow, thanks for sharing these, you should try to write more.
Yes Issa’s experience is so powerfully conveyed, it even works in translation!
And yes, I try to use my own pictures
