Yellow creosote
purple Texas Ranger
red Mexican Bird of Paradise
yellow desert marigolds
fall colors in the desert
blooming.


Look out your window?  What flowers are blooming in your part of the world?  Why do I feel the blooming flowers are precious?  Can you write a poem today about your landscape?

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.
