Beata Agustin Poet Haiku

Bougainvillea Wonders

---varied petal hues
beauteous* with scarlet and pink
displaying God's art...

---white shines with pure tint
midst magenta's dominion
along hedge function...

---welcoming facade
bougainvillea canopy
radiant crimson.

"Haiku-series"

*Ecclesiastes 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

John Watt August 28, 2020 at 1:48 PM Beata, I grew up with bougainvillea in my back yard, and I always think of my Dad the gardener when I see it. Thank you for the lovely reminder, and the colorful haiku series. Love that Ecclesiastes verse! Congrats for your win. Grace and peace ~ John

Kai Michael Neumann August 23, 2020 at 3:46 AM I love them. Planted them around the perimeter of my house in Johannesburg. Beauty and safety from intruders.
