Thanks Jackie.
The parents are friends of mine, Andrew's funeral was yesterday.
I printed the haiku out on fabric and it was buried with him.

Thats true and thanks for starting me on this thread  Golden trumpets
on every turn of the vine
welcome the sunI've been reading up about Haiku....a lot of the time they include flowers or seasons or to do with nature I wanted something to brighten my mood and when I'm down...nature is always around to pick me up. I found, saw this flower, when out walking this morning.....and was the inspiration for todays haiku. Allamanda cathartice

Well there is a bunch of us here now, we should join her
with some Haiku's.
Is it 5-7-5 syllables??? In the Japanese original form it's 5-7-5 morae, which isn't quite the same as syllables. Haiku, for example, would be two syllables in English but is three morae in Japanese. But there's more to it than that. There is a cutting word at the end of the first or second line and there is a seasonal reference in there somewhere. Yes, Faldage mentioned early on in the thread that there was a seasonal reference in the haiku, often.

The only thing that blooms here in winter are artificial
poinsettias and Christmas trees in December.
