Haiku - Mulberry

imploring wand wish waves glob white alien arms indigo conjured A juvenile mulberry tree was transplanted into my yard a year ago. Currently the vibrant serrated edged erruptions are stuck like green balloons against Bambi leg branches. Blossoms have tickle of toilet brush bristles. Maturing mulberry will seep, dire as ink. 3rd August 2020 Traditional Haiku Nature Poem Contest Sponsored by Tania Kitchin

the haiku itself and "balloons ... against Bambi leg branches ... Blossom have tickle of toilet brush bristles" -- you demonstrate the power of economy, Ms Ermine. Thank you for writing

Hello Sigrid, I have a mulberry tree. It is a wonder for the birds it atracts. You just don't want to park your car underneath it, or under the birds for that matter. Cheers to you and your Haiku.

Hello Sigrid Emine, Question: When you cut the top of the tree, will you be able to plant it from the seed? I was just wondering. Enjoy your day my friend.

Greetings, Darlene. Thank you for stopping in! Yes, I'm still not certain if this is the six metre radius variety (too big for back yard) I have my trusty scissors handy while I can touch the top of her!
