Haiku - Sunflower

blooming and bobbing
  flower power head turner~
      feasting goldfinches


I passed a dancing sunflower on my walk today,
out sprang a goldfinch.

My Fave. flower, glad to see you get POTD for this glorious, fantastic description - a gold flinch, what a perfect way to end your write. Well penned my friend, Jennifer.

Algorithm or no algorithm, enjoy the attention the honor affords you, for you are indeed a wonderful poetess with a lovely eye for nature, sharp insight into humanity and a breathtaking command of poetic language. I applaud and congratulate you (and your amazing goldfinches)! Hugs ~ John
