I'll try and keep that in mind, Iris. I'm about to move to a place that has a huge yard, so I might end up doing lots of yard work (maybe if I "work" at it I can remove the "work" from that equation)...

So I have this huge backyard enough for a small house; family of rabbits come and feast, my garden will be ravished. much empty space even with plum, peach, and Asian pear trees. Connect outdoors and breathe fresh.

Wish I had this same mentality as you Iris. I get caught up in maintenance of it ... but the flowers and fruit are a delightful reward. Great that you are finding more inspiration from this unusual haiku-variant.

Just think of fresh air as breath of God, or tidal rhythm of breath you'll want to enjoy.

Yard work is a labor of love. Beautiful, Iris. We should all be so lucky to reap the rewards of being a good steward of the land. Peace my friend:)

Thanks Daniel; it all good breath of God we breathe in, and of course, the end result is fascinating.
