Haiga Bird of Paradise



Bird of Paradise
flying on an island breeze
singing Aloha


     Part of the fun of being on a Hawaiian island is seeing all the colorful flowers and having the time to appreciate them.  Can you name your favorite flower?  Can you write a poem about it?  This is a haiku.  If you get stuck you could try an acrostic, or a list poem.  Have fun and enjoy the time.

    Joy...I loved this haiku about Birds of Paradise so much I decided to use it in the description of one of my Flickr pictures. I have attributed it to you...and here is a link so that you can check it out. I assure you, tasteful and appropriate. Wonderful haiku.
