Sounds
at early morning
on my walk
Cicada songs float
out over the briny drifts
soft footfalls on sand
Waves wash over stones
while far above Granite Bay
Splendid Blue Wrens sing
Thank you Dan
for inspiring me
to capture these sounds
in Haiku

Such a peaceful way to begin my day. Thank you Delwyn.
ReplyDeleteEarly moring sounds are the best!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your wonderful Pandanus Parable, Delwyn. I have a Yucca plant, which looks similar, that endures and thrives. Found it years ago cast aside on a compost heap, it had spent all winter that way. Now, it blooms beautifully every year, even with the deers shredding it's leaves each winter.

Very cool Delwyn and soothing. I'm listening to the mourning doves right now.
ReplyDeleteEvery winter I forget all about the sound of cicadas! I even forget about crickets and tree frogs. Winter here is very quiet.
ReplyDeleteSo far we only have birdsong to accompany the morning. But the sounds of summer will arrive soon enough.
Thank you for this beautiful reminder!
I enjoyed my beach stroll - thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe sound of nature is the sweetest sound of all. Right now as I type, through the window, I can hear the beautiful singing of the blackbird. Unfortunately, I can only imagine the sounds of the sea.
ReplyDeleteI could hear them! :-)
ReplyDeletePure and sweet,thank you!
ReplyDeleteAh, Spring, she is here at last in lovely Louisiana. I have my windows all open and have been sitting and listening to the wind and watch it dance with the trees. What a priceless pastime it is to hear mother nature singing. A lovely post, Delwyn. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteDelwyn, you are welcome! What the world needs now is more poetry, more beauty, more wonder.
ReplyDeleteA Hazy Moon is supplying me and many others with just that. I hope you'll give more poems to the bloggosphere. I love it, and feel grateful for the posts you give.
"Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder" a phrase I just read over on Jenny's blog comes to mind as I read your post about the sounds in nature and feel it resonate out there through the world.
I could hear the ocean as I read your post and had my walk on the beach.
ReplyDeleteThank-You, Delwyn!
Best
Tracy :)
Sights, sounds and Haiku - all inspiring, Delwyn.
ReplyDeleteI hear the beauty, Delwyn
ReplyDeleteAloha from Hawaii my Friend!

Hi Wanda
ReplyDeleteHi wanda
Yes I know the Yucca and it too is a very resilient plant...probably hard to kill it...

I have just heard a kookaburra laugh its head off...

Hello Reya
ReplyDeleteCicadas sound all over the world and are an important part of the summer chorus....
I don't need to worry in the winter I have them permanently in one ear!!!

Welcome Get Zapped. It is nice that you have found your way here and are dropping in to join us...
ReplyDeleteI look forward to visiting you regularly.

Hi Ann
ReplyDeleteI do think the old magpie has one of the greatest songs of all. In Kauai at dusk there was a chorus of bird call and when I went to investigate I found it was all coming from one character...he had a great repertoire.
and a perky tail that dropped as he sang...
Happy days

Hello Dan

Happiness by wonder is doubled with gratitude...

Hi, Delwyn-- it's funny. I was also experimenting with other formulations of that "equation."
ReplyDeleteJust as you can play around with numbers on either side of an equals sign in algebra, I think you can play with these ideas profitably.
BEAUTIFUL pictures and words!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, inhaling peace and these words. Thank you.
