Sigrid Ermine Poet Haiku

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.

Lawrence Strauss August 18, 2020 at 9:06 AM 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 Sigrid Ermine August 18, 2020 at 5:44 PM Many thanks for the generous comment, Mr. Strauss

Belden Raiser August 3, 2020 at 2:48 PM 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. Sigrid Ermine August 3, 2020 at 2:56 PM Thank you for the advice!! Much appreciate the read! Going across to yours now...

Darlene De Beaulieu August 3, 2020 at 5:33 AM Hello Sigrid Ermine, I have never seen a mulberry bush. the way you described it makes it sound beautiful. Enjoy your day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu August 4, 2020 at 9:45 AM 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. Sigrid Ermine August 3, 2020 at 5:56 AM 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!
