The Garden (A Haibun) NaPoWriMo Day 0

The Garden

Green. Yellow, Pink and Red, just some of the colours of the garden.
Frogs Ribbit, Birds Tweet, water gurgles, just some of the sounds of the garden
The smells are amazing, constantly changing, the sweet smell of flowers, the earthy smell of compost, the hint of rotting vegetation.
The garden embraces wherever you are.

Taken for Granted
Many Gardens often are
Magic of Nature



Today's pre-NaPoWriMo prompt to write a Haibun.

The haibun is the combination of two poems: a prose poem and haiku. The form was popularized by the 17th century Japanese poet Matsuo Basho. Both the prose poem and haiku typically communicate with each other, though poets employ different strategies for this communication—some doing so subtly, while others are more direct.
The prose poem usually describes a scene or moment in an objective manner. In other words, the pronoun “I” isn’t often used—if at all. Meanwhile, the haiku follows the typical rules for haiku.
