Tia Haynes, who is editing the Haiku Foundation’s weekly column, Haiku Dialogue, has switched her haiku focus to looking through the prism of colors. Last week’s color was blue, and neither of this pedometer geek’s haiku was chosen, but this week’s color was green, and she selected one. It is as follows:
freshly mown grass
she looks ahead
to summer
~Nancy Brady, 2020
From green eyes to the green of jealousy to green leaves and frogs, there is so much to savor from this week’s column. Check out Tia’s commentary on several of the haiku as well as all her selections at http://www.thehaikufoundation.org under Haiku Dialogue. Submissions on the color pink can also be submitted now through Saturday evening at 11:59PM.
I’m green with envy when I read your haiku.

Aw, shucks, EtM, thanks. Sometimes I come up with something worthy, but more often than not, I don’t (hence; non-acceptance the previous week). ~nan

So many shades of green. With all our rain, mowing will have to wait π

We have mowed at least twice. There is something about the smell of freshly mowed grass that says green to me. I say put off mowing as long as possible, Jules. π

We generally keep our grass a tad high. Got to wait for it to dry out before we can mow it. π

Good for you, JP. We wait for the grass to dry out before we mow. Otherwise, it just clogs up.
