Tattered orange mushroom on the forest floor

Donning an orange cap
She plays the fiddle
And sings in tune

A mixed sky of dark and white cloud and blue sky. A full rainbow arches over a line of trees that spans the length of the photo, some hills in the background.

between storms
I find a dry path
pale rainbow

juxtaposed -
molehills and mountains
and me in between

mountain shadows
fields of poppies bloom
for another war

#windmill petals stretch,
dance in the pale evening wind
building their soft strength

flecks of jade

carrying the dead—

‘Whispers of Nature’ First International Haiku Contest 2026 Haiku Association of Sri Lanka Honourable Mention beach day baby’ s first prints return to sea Tré – USA Ravi Kiran's commentary: The crux of this haiku is the second line. Different babies take differently to their first visit to a beach. Some get very excited and others get petrified. Once the feeling settles, babies instinctively explore and are amazed at how they can leave footprints in the wet sands. The last line captures the cyclic nature of life.

Happy International #Haiku #Poetry Day!

Thank you, Haiku Association of Sri Lanka, Palitha Senarathna, Radhika De Silva, and Lanka Siriwardana. You all did a splendid job. Congratulations on your first contest!

My gratitude also goes out to the honorable judge, Ravi Kiran, for including my haiku.

I love this.

evocative. ✒️👏

Mushrooms in a rental home yard, 2016, North Carolina. A cluster of mushrooms stand in front of a home. They look to be short. The photo is taken from down near the ground. These mushrooms are beautiful brown and look a lot like they are made of leather. The hill they are standing on has moss, grasses and twigs. It's a cozy scene.

like tiny houses
neighborhoods built overnight
mushrooms face the rain

she has
legends on her lips
and myths in her marrow

she is a story
that cannot stop
telling itself
