   1. ❤ Kerfe ❤

2. love the use of Thyme in your haiku David!💖

   1. If it were not for rhyme, I never would have thought of thyme 😀

      1. good you had the time and thyme!

3. Beautiful photo, David! Charming rhyming haiku in gorgeous colors. Bet your daughter likes this one! Fun. ❤

4. Lovely, David.

   sublime chartreuse green lime thyme
   over time they climb
   Until my stomach they make
   Home via a soup or stew ❤😊

5. Very nicely done! There are no rules that say a haiku can’t rhyme just that Japanese poetry usually doesn’t. Now I understand that there are some Chinese forms that require rhyme (and it is pretty complex -so I haven’t given it a try- yet)… I think that this is a prime example of “poetic license”!

   1. mostly I was just curious if I could make it work or not – I had to try 🙂

      your rhyming sestina has also stimulated my curiosity, btw 🙂

6. You broke the rules and I like it! 👌

   1. does this mean you’ll start writing haikus? 😉

      1. I occasionally write them at the end of a haibun – I think that’s coming up on dVerse tonight in fact, so watch this space…

         1. you mean my comments section? 😉

            1. Indeed!

            2. 🤭

            3. Haha I’ve just figured out what you meant…

               I do not intend
               to post too many haiku
               here in this section 🙏

            4. you’re always welcome 🤡

            5. Perhaps I will spam
               your entire comment section
               with haiku blossoms 🌸

            6. 👏💐

7. A haiku composed of playful, tumbling rhyme. 😀

   1. 🙃 I was just curious to see if I could make it work, Lesley.

      All best,
      David

      1. I think the exploration and experimentation of words is the joy of poetry. 🙌

         1. ❤

8. Beautiful.

   1. 💓 Amber 💓
