Wildflowers


bright yellow blossoms
become tart Oregon-grape berries
jelly in the Fall

Love the idea of transformation in your poem. And that picture is gorgeous :)

Mandy said...

I like the way you include time's progress -- never had any jelly for a long time.

What a stunning picture! And I never heard of Oregon-grape berries! Will have to look that up!

I like the movement here - flowers to berries to jelly... very nice.

Michael said...

Green jelly tastes the best for some reason.

Wow, what brilliant color.

P.S., thanks for your comment on my blog a long time ago. It took me awhile to learn blog etiquette. I'm a slow learner ;)

Cergie said...

Is it possible to eat oregon-grape berry I wonder ? I never saw these flowers before and I believe I don't know these berries...
Yes the haiku is nice, I read that haiku needs to say the season, and here it's done with the fact you speak about oregon-grape berries.

For some reason they remind me of popcorn! Maybe because they look so buttery...

Not only have I never tasted the jelly, I, too, have not heard of it. And now I've a hankering to track some down. A delicious haiku.

Clare said...

That is the happiest yellow color I've seen in a long time! And your haiku is really great. The berries and jelly are in relationship, which is very cool. Nice idea!
