Haiku One

radiating sun
across clear tranquil blue skies
tree buds' petals warmth

hopping frogs capture
the first of blood sucking louse
plums dropwart blossoms

lips grin at the sound
from a rumbling waterfall
raw freshness afloats

skirting the valley
sprawls a field of wildflowers
butterflies sweet bed
