Wow Trinity,
been catching up with all the Magic oozing from your last few posts.
Went to away for a week, well almost two - flew back last night from sweltering Seville, and awoke in a cool drizzly Cambridge.
Hope your Sunday is refreshening too

liked them both
at least dandelion clocks don't have an audible tick :)

Keep up with the haiku. Dandelions do symbolize the beauty of youth and old age.

nice tries... especially like the second one :)

perhaps one thing: 'show don't tell' principle is important in haiku - do not write about feelings/emotions/ideas; use images to convey them

trinitystar said...

Thanks on that Polona ... images as in the photographs ... mmmmmmmm.
It get harder still ... have to really work hard on that.

Wasn't sure if I had commented or not so I'll squeak this one by. Your haiku are great Trinitystar. Love the blue flowers in the last pic...what are they? Always enjoy your photos!

The small blue flowers are woodland Bluebells. :o)
